Common questions

How do I pick a good tree surgeon?

Ask to see their insurance. Ask to see their chainsaw certificates. Get a written quote. If it feels high, get one more. Our guide walks you through it.

How much does it cost?

A team of three costs about £600 to £900 a day in London. A small tree costs about £250 to £550 to take down. A big one can cost £1,200 to £3,500 or more. See our cost guide.

Do I need permission?

Often, yes. Protected trees need council consent. Trees in a conservation area need six weeks notice. Cutting without permission is a crime. See our permission guide.

Does any firm pay to be here?

No. No firm pays us. We have no link to any of them. Every fact has a link to where it came from.
