We handle emergency situations with precision and care, prioritising safety and site clean-up so you can breathe easy again.

When Do You Need Emergency Tree Removal?

Emergency tree removal is necessary when a tree poses an immediate threat to life, access, or property.

Common scenarios include storm damage, where high winds or saturated soil have caused a tree to fall or lean dangerously.

A tree blocking a driveway, footpath, or road may also require urgent clearing.

If you notice cracked trunks, splitting branches, or trees pressing on power lines, the risk of injury or major damage is high.

What Is Included In Emergency Tree Removal Services?

Emergency tree removal services typically include:

• Rapid response – Fast arrival to address immediate hazards and prevent further damage.
• Site safety evaluation – On-site assessment to determine risks to people, property, or power lines.
• Controlled tree removal – Safe dismantling of hazardous trees using ropes, rigging, and specialised equipment.
• Stabilisation or pruning (if applicable) – Alternative methods such as trimming or bracing, when full removal isn’t required.
• Debris clean-up – Full removal of limbs, branches, and fallen material from the site.
• Optional stump grinding – Stump removal service to restore the area to a flat, usable surface.
• Safety prioritisation – All work is performed with strict attention to the safety of people, nearby structures, and utilities.

How Quickly Can Emergency Tree Removal Be Performed?

Most emergency tree removals are carried out within 1 to 4 hours of your call, depending on urgency and site conditions.

We offer priority response for trees posing imminent danger to homes, vehicles, or people.

However, weather conditions, equipment availability, and involvement with utility lines may affect the timeframe. 

How Much Does Emergency Tree Removal Cost?

Emergency tree removal typically costs between £250 and £1,500, depending on the scale and urgency of the job.

Several factors affect pricing, including the size of the tree, its location (e.g., near structures or roads), accessibility, and whether the service is requested during or outside standard hours.

Daytime removals are generally less expensive, while after-hours or weekend responses can increase the cost.

Additional expenses may include stump grinding, debris removal, and any required local permit fees.

Are Permits Required For Emergency Tree Removal?

For removing a tree, mostly, permits can be bypassed when immediate removal is necessary to prevent injury or damage.

Local regulations vary, but emergency tree work is typically allowed without prior approval if there’s a clear threat to safety.

After the job, we help with post-removal documentation and notify the relevant council or authority if required.

What Are The Risks Of Delaying Emergency Tree Removal?

Delaying tree removal can lead to property damage, injury, or even legal liability.

An unstable or falling tree may collapse onto roofs, fences, or vehicles. In some cases, it can damage power lines, leading to outages or fire hazards.

Personal injuries to family members, neighbours, or pets also become more likely.

If the tree causes damage due to inaction, you could be held liable by insurers or local councils. Fast removal protects your safety and your legal standing.
