You stepped outside this morning and something had changed.

When the Problem Cannot Wait
There is a difference between a tree job that should be booked soon and a tree job that needs to happen today. Godalming has a landscape shaped by mature trees, many of them substantial in size and close to residential properties. When one of those trees fails, partially or completely, the margin for error is small.
A partly split limb does not stay partly split. A tree that leaned overnight in saturated ground is not in the same condition it was the previous week. These are situations where getting a qualified team on site quickly is the only sensible course of action.
Our response to emergency calls in Godalming is built around that reality. We come prepared to assess, to act, and to leave your property safe.

Why Godalming Homeowners Call Above All Tree Care
Speed that is grounded in local knowledge
Being based locally means we are not adding unnecessary travel time to an already stressful situation. When you call about an emergency in Godalming, we know exactly where we are going and we move quickly.
Qualifications that matter when it gets complicated
NPTC Level 3 is the benchmark qualification for professional tree surgery. It is not a short course. The practical skills it covers are exactly the ones that get tested on complex emergency jobs, where access is awkward, the tree is heavy, and the margin for error is small.
Transparent pricing before we start
We tell you the cost before any work begins. That figure does not change based on how long the job takes or what complications arise. You are not left with an invoice that does not match the quote.
Full insurance on every call-out
All our emergency work is covered by comprehensive public liability insurance. Whatever the condition of the tree, whatever the circumstances on site, you are protected throughout.

Godalming Emergency Tree Removal Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Godalming for a genuine emergency?
We aim to reach Godalming emergency jobs as fast as possible and will give you a realistic arrival estimate the moment you call.
What should I do between calling you and your team arriving?
Keep people and pets away from the affected area, do not go beneath anything that is leaning or suspended, and if there is structural damage to your property, contact your insurer to start a claim record.
Do you charge more for emergency call-outs than standard tree work?
Emergency jobs are priced on the specifics of the situation, but we always confirm the cost before starting so there are no surprises.
A tree has come through my fence onto my neighbour's side. Who is responsible?
Liability depends on the ownership of the tree and the circumstances of its failure, but in most cases the tree owner is responsible for making the situation safe, which is where we come in.
Can you remove a large tree that is resting on my roof without causing more damage?
Yes. Sectional removal using ropes and rigging is exactly how we handle trees in contact with structures, allowing timber to be lowered in stages rather than dropped.
My tree has not fully fallen but looks dangerous. Is that enough to call you?
Absolutely. A partially failed tree or a suspended broken limb can be more dangerous than one already on the ground. Do not wait for it to come down fully before calling.
Will you take the wood away or can I keep it?
We remove everything as standard, but if you want to keep the timber for firewood or other purposes, let us know when you call and we can discuss what is practical on the day.
Does a tree that has fallen in a storm need a council inspection before you remove it?
Not for the removal itself. If the tree was covered by a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a Conservation Area, there are notification requirements, but emergency safety work is generally permitted without prior consent and we can advise you on this.
Can you also grind the stump once the emergency removal is done?
Yes. Stump grinding can be carried out at the same time or scheduled as a follow-up visit, whichever suits the situation.
I am a landlord and the tree is on a rental property. Can you deal directly with my tenant on the day?
Yes, provided you brief us in advance. We can liaise with whoever is on site whilst keeping you informed as the account holder.
How do I know if a leaning tree is dangerous enough to justify an emergency call?
If the lean is new, if there is soil movement or root lifting around the base, or if the tree overhangs a structure or area people use, treat it as urgent and call us rather than leaving it until you are certain.
Will the site be completely safe when you leave?
Yes. We do not leave a job until the hazard has been fully dealt with, debris is cleared, and you are satisfied the area is safe.
Do you cover all areas of Godalming and the surrounding villages?
Yes, we cover Godalming and the wider Surrey area including surrounding villages. If you are unsure whether you fall within our response area, simply call us and we will confirm availability immediately.
What types of trees do you handle in emergency situations?
We handle all species and sizes, from small garden trees to large mature specimens. Our team is equipped and qualified to manage any emergency tree situation safely and efficiently in Godalming.
