Tree work is skilled and can be genuinely dangerous when done incorrectly, so it's worth checking a few things before booking anyone.
What to check
- Are they fully insured for tree work?
- Do they have relevant experience with the type of job you need?
- Will they provide a written, no-obligation quotation?
- Do they explain why a particular approach is recommended, rather than just quoting a price?
- Is waste removal included, or will you need to arrange this separately?
- Will they check whether a Tree Preservation Order applies before starting work?
Why it's worth asking questions
A reputable tree surgeon should be happy to explain their approach and answer questions before any work begins. If someone is reluctant to do this, or offers a fixed price without seeing the tree, it's worth being cautious.
