Emergency Tree Removal in London & Surrey

Emergency tree removal in Farnborough typically costs between £300 and £1,500 depending on the size of the tree, how it has fallen, and how difficult it is to access. Larger trees that have come down onto structures or are blocking roads will cost more due to the complexity of the work involved. We provide a clear price before we start so there are no surprises.

Because we are based in Farnborough, we can often reach properties across Hampshire the same day you call. In many cases we are with you within a few hours of your call. Response time depends on the volume of jobs we are already attending, but we prioritise genuine emergencies where there is a risk to people or property.

Most emergency tree removals take between two and five hours to complete. Smaller trees or single fallen branches can be cleared more quickly, while large trees that have come down onto a building or across a driveway may take a full day. We work efficiently and do not leave until the site is clear and safe.

It depends on your policy. Many home insurance policies will cover the cost of removing a fallen tree if it has caused damage to an insured structure such as your roof, fence, or garage. If the tree has fallen in the garden without causing structural damage, it may not be covered. We recommend contacting your insurer as soon as possible and we can provide documentation to support your claim.

Stay away from the fallen tree and keep everyone else away from the area. Do not attempt to move or cut the tree yourself. If the tree has brought down power lines, call your electricity provider immediately and do not go near the lines. Once everyone is safe, call a qualified tree surgeon to assess and remove the tree safely. Call us on 01252 968 045 and we will advise you straight away.

Yes. We regularly deal with trees and large branches that have come down on vehicles. We cut the tree into sections carefully to lift it clear of the car without causing any additional damage. Once the tree is removed, the vehicle damage is a matter for your motor insurer. We can provide a written report of the incident if needed.

Yes. If a tree has come down across a road or pavement, we can attend and cut it into sections to clear the route. In some cases, the local council or highways authority may also be involved if it is a public road. We work quickly to clear the obstruction safely and remove all debris from the area.

Standard tree removal is a planned job where a tree is felled in a controlled way, usually because it is dead, diseased, or unwanted. Emergency tree removal deals with trees that have already fallen or are in immediate danger of falling, often after a storm or high winds. Emergency work requires faster attendance, a different approach to safe working, and the ability to deal with unpredictable situations on site.

Yes. Trees do not fall to a schedule and neither do we. We are available to respond to emergency callouts across Farnborough and Hampshire at weekends. Call us on 01252 968 045 and we will do our best to get to you as quickly as possible regardless of the day.

Yes. If the tree has come down from the base and left a stump behind, we can grind it down below ground level on the same visit or return to do it as a follow-up job. Stumps can become a trip hazard and attract pests such as beetles and fungi, so it is worth dealing with it while we are already on site.

In a genuine emergency where a tree poses an immediate risk to life or property, you are generally permitted to carry out the necessary work without prior consent, even if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order. However, you must notify the local planning authority as soon as possible after the work is done. If the tree is in a conservation area, the same applies. We can advise you on this when we attend.

If a tree has developed a significant lean after a storm or high winds, particularly if you can see exposed roots, soil heave around the base, or cracking in the ground nearby, it should be treated as an emergency. A tree in this condition can fall at any point. Do not wait for it to come down. Call us on 01252 968 045 and we will come out and assess it for you.

Yes. All of our work is covered by full public liability insurance. This applies to emergency callouts as much as to planned tree surgery jobs. You are fully protected when we are on your property. Our arborists are trained and qualified, which means the work is carried out to a professional standard every time.

Yes. Full debris removal and site clearance is included as standard. We section the tree, remove all the timber, branches, and any wood chip from site, and leave the area clean. If you would like to keep any of the logs for firewood, just let us know when we arrive and we will leave them stacked for you.
