Is Your Tree Situation Actually an Emergency?
Most people are not sure whether what they are looking at counts as urgent. Here is a straightforward way to think about it: if the tree is close to something it could damage, or if it is already touching something it should not be touching, it is an emergency.
The following situations require an immediate call, not an online enquiry:
- A tree or large branch has landed on your roof, outbuilding, fence, or vehicle
- Something is blocking your driveway or the road outside your property in New Malden
- A tree is visibly leaning at a new angle following wind or recent wet weather
- A branch has partially split and is being held up only by surrounding growth
- Roots have been exposed or undermined and the tree feels less stable than before
- A tree has fallen through a boundary structure on your property
Do not walk under a tree that has moved or partially split. Call 07919 147565 directly.

What the Emergency Removal Process Looks Like in New Malden
New Malden is a dense residential area. The plots are close together, gardens are not always large, and trees often grow right up against walls, fences, and neighbouring properties. That context matters when a tree comes down.
Our team arrives with the equipment needed to work in exactly that kind of environment. We do not assume a clear run of access or straightforward angles. We assess what is in front of us, plan the safest method of removal given the constraints of your specific site, and we work methodically from there.
Trees are sectioned from the top down where required, with each piece lowered rather than dropped. That approach protects everything beneath: the structure the tree has landed on, any vehicles nearby, and the fencing and paving around it. Once the main work is done, the site is cleared completely before we leave.
Situations We Regularly Handle in New Malden
Some emergency tree scenarios are more common than others in a built-up area. We regularly attend:
Trees over or on structures. Mature trees growing close to buildings in New Malden are one of the most common call-out reasons. Whether the tree has actually made contact or is under serious stress, we assess and remove safely.
Storm-damaged trees with hanging branches. A branch that has split but not fully fallen is one of the most dangerous situations you can have on a property. It can come down at any time. We remove it before that happens.
Root-compromised trees after heavy rain. Saturated ground reduces the grip a root system has. Trees that seemed entirely stable can shift dramatically after prolonged wet periods.
Trees blocking vehicle or pedestrian access. When a tree falls across a driveway or path, access becomes an immediate practical problem. We prioritise clearance in situations like this.

New Malden Emergency Tree Removal Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get to New Malden for an emergency?
We aim to attend genuine emergency call-outs in New Malden as quickly as possible, and being locally based means we are not travelling from a distance.
What is the cost of emergency tree removal in New Malden?
Cost depends on the size of the tree, access conditions, and how complex the removal is, so we give you a clear price before any work begins.
Should I stay away from the tree whilst I wait for you?
Yes, keep everyone well clear of any fallen or leaning tree until our team has assessed and made the area safe.
Will you take all the wood and debris away?
Every piece of timber, every branch, and all associated debris is removed from your property as part of the job.
Can you remove a tree that has landed on my car?
Yes, we have experience lifting and removing trees from vehicles in confined residential spaces without causing additional damage.
Do I need to notify anyone before you start removing a protected tree that has fallen?
If the tree was covered by a Tree Preservation Order or sits in a conservation area, we can advise you on the notification process, though emergency work to remove an immediate hazard is generally permitted.
Do you work evenings and weekends in New Malden?
We respond to genuine emergencies outside standard working hours; call 07919 147565 and we will advise on availability.
Will my home insurance pay for emergency tree removal?
Many home insurance policies do cover emergency tree removal costs, particularly where a tree has caused damage to a structure; check your policy and we can provide documentation to support your claim.
Can you grind the stump after completing the emergency removal?
Yes, stump grinding can be carried out at the same time or arranged as a follow-up visit once the immediate situation is resolved.
How do I know if a leaning tree is an emergency or just needs monitoring?
If the lean is new, if the ground around the base has lifted, or if there is visible cracking at the root collar, call us immediately rather than waiting to see what happens.
Is there anything I should do before your team arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, if possible photograph the situation for your insurance, and leave access clear for our vehicle and equipment.
Will the site be completely safe before you leave?
Yes, we do not consider the job finished until the site is clear, the hazard is resolved, and the area is safe to use.
Can storm-damaged trees be made safe without full removal?
In some cases, yes. Where a tree has lost major limbs but the trunk and root system remain sound, we can carry out emergency crown reduction or deadwood removal to eliminate the immediate hazard whilst preserving the tree. We will assess this on arrival and advise you on the best course of action.
Do you serve areas surrounding New Malden as well?
Yes, alongside New Malden we cover surrounding areas including Kingston upon Thames, Wimbledon, Surbiton, and Raynes Park. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, call us on 07919 147565 and we will confirm immediately.
