Crown reduction, crown thinning, crown lifting, pollarding and full removal — what each one actually does to the tree.

Do you need permission to cut down a tree?Decision chart: trees with a Tree Preservation Order need written council consent; trees in a conservation area need six weeks' written notice; other trees usually need no permission, but tenancy, deeds and nesting-bird law can still apply.Do you need permission first?In Havering and across Essex, three questions decide it. We check all three before we quote — free.Is there a TreePreservation Order?Then:You need written consent fromthe council before ANYcutting.Working on a protected treewithout consent is a criminaloffence, and the fine can run tothousands.Is it in aconservation area?Then:You must give the council sixweeks' written notice.They can then place a TPO on itwithin that window. No notice,same offence.Neither ofthe above?Then:Usually no council permissionneeded.But check the deeds, and if yourent, ask the landlord. Nestingbirds are protected March–Augustwhatever the tree.We check the TPO register and the conservation-area map for your address before quoting, and we handle the council paperwork.This is a guide, not legal advice — the council's own decision is the one that counts.

Tree Preservation Orders and conservation areas decide whether you need council permission before any cutting.

“Martin came to review our request and in the same week was able to complete the work. He was very clear with what he would be able to do and removed two bushes and a tree from our garden and disposed of the waste. Very happy with the end result and service.”

“I put the job on Checkatrade and they responded in less than a minute. They came around and gave a quote and did it there and then. I was very impressed with their responsiveness and professionalism. Very reasonable price. Cheerful guys, pleasant to deal with. Tidied up and kept everything clean and tidy.”

Explain the result you want from the tree

Tell us whether you want more light, clearance from a building, a lower crown, removal or help with a damaged tree. These are different jobs; a photograph is a starting point for discussing the scope, rather than a substitute for assessing it.

Start with a short description of the job and your postcode. Send photos only from a safe, accessible position.

What to send with your enquiry

  • A whole-tree photo and a closer view of the area of concern, taken from ground level
  • Approximate height, nearby buildings and the route from the road to the tree
  • Whether you want the stump dealt with and the wood or chippings retained or removed

What the quote needs to cover

Tree size, the method of access, nearby structures and what happens to the stump and arisings all affect the quote. Ask for the agreed extent of pruning or removal to be written down.

Common questions

Can a photograph confirm the whole tree-work quote?

A photograph helps us understand the enquiry. The scope, access and any relevant permissions still need to be checked before work is agreed.

What affects the tree surgery quote?

Tree size, the method of access, nearby structures and what happens to the stump and arisings all affect the quote. Ask for the agreed extent of pruning or removal to be written down.

How do I arrange the next step?

Call 07939 492 893 or use the contact page with your postcode, the work you have in mind and safe photos. Ask us to confirm the scope, survey arrangements and current availability; an enquiry does not reserve a date.
