How do I know if a tree surgeon is qualified?

You can check if a tree surgeon is qualified by verifying their certifications, such as NPTC (City & Guilds), LANTRA Awards or Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status. Always ask to see proof of qualifications and insurance. MyBuilder also makes sure that all tradespeople, sole traders and companies, are qualified by obtaining certifications for regulated jobs or assessing their expertise through an online skills check.

Should local tree surgeons have insurance?

Yes, reputable tree surgeons should have public liability insurance, typically covering £1 million to £5 million, to protect against accidents or damage to property. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring.

Do tree surgeons charge a call-out fee?

Some tree surgeons charge a call-out fee, especially for emergency work or small jobs. Always confirm pricing and whether a site visit is included in the quote before booking a service.

Can tree surgeons work in the rain?

Tree surgeons sometimes work in light rain, but typically postpone jobs if the weather becomes unsafe. Wet conditions can make climbing and handling tools hazardous, with risks such as slipping on branches, unstable ground, and equipment malfunctions. For basic tasks at ground level or planning meetings, light drizzle may not cause delays.

Tree Surgery- 27 Jan 2023
Excellent knowledge about tree surgery. A team of two arrived. They were very professional in their manner. Explained what they were doing and the reason why. They left the area in a very clean condition, even to the fact that they cleaned the area where they shredded the branches. I would recommend them as being TOPS in their field - Tree Surgery

I received a leaflet though the door from classic paving & landscaping, we decided to give them a call for a quote on some new fences, post and gravel boards. Dave was very friendly and helpful throughout the job, giving us great advice about materials, and what the job entailed. With such great advice and reassurance we had the job done. And without disappointment, Dave delivered, with great timekeeping, manners and cleanliness. My animals were still able to use the garden why they was working as Dave and his team was organised, with there area clearly marked off. To say we are pleased with the job is an understatement, I would definitely use them again in the near future, they were professional throughout.

Tree Surgery- 5 Mar 2021
Robin and his team are extremely professional and very well organised. All PPE, plant and equipment required was available and was used. They observed all Covid 19 procedures. They did an excellent job on 4 Ash trees, chopped up logs, recycled all chippings and totally cleaned up our garden, our neighbour's gardens. They did everything they said they would do, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended and reasonably priced. Tunbridge Wells, Kent.

Garden Maintenance- 4 Jun 2023
Adam contacted me and called the same day to quote for the cutting of our hedges. He then came back to do the job a couple of days later. We were very pleased with the work. Adam is clearly a true professional who knows what he is doing. The quality of the finished job was second to none and the hedges now look better than they ever have done previously. I highly recommend Adam. A really nice friendly guy. We will definitely use him again.
