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- 4 Jan 2019
Josh and his team did a great job cutting down a large beech tree in our garden. The job was completed on time and all debris was removed from the garden very efficiently. Josh is very polite and courteous and even helped remove my xmas tree. The price was very competitive and he has a vast array of tools for any size job. I would definitely recommend and use Josh again for other garden work. Thanks Josh we are very pleased with the result! 😁
