  • How much does tree surgery cost in London?

    Costs vary depending on tree size, access, and services required. Here are typical costs in London:

    • Tree felling: £300 – £3,000
    • Large tree removal (e.g. oak): £1,000 – £3,000
    • Medium tree removal: £500 – £800
    • Tree trimming: £100 – £500
    • Stump grinding: £60 – £300
    • Tree waste disposal: £50 – £150

    These rates will vary depending on your area, and how accessible the trees are - it can sometimes be challenging to get the right equipment down narrow London roads, especially in Central. For accuracy, request tree surgeon quotes available near you using Checkatrade.

  • How much does a tree surgeon charge per hour in the UK?

    On average, a tree surgeon in the UK charges £40 per hour, while a team of three typically costs £120 per hour.

    In some areas, such as London, rates may be slightly higher, especially in central areas.

  • What factors affect tree surgery prices?

    The cost of your tree surgery services can vary based on a few things, such as:

    • Tree size and condition
    • Type of work (removal, trimming, disease treatment)
    • Access issues (tight spaces, height)
    • Waste disposal
    • Qualifications and experience of the tree surgeon
    • Area/borough and demand levels
  • What do tree surgeons do?

    Professional tree surgeons offer a range of tree care and maintenance services. An experienced tree surgeon can remove branches and fell entire trees when needed.

    Tree surgeons typically provide the following services:

    • Pruning

    • Felling - full or sectional

    • Stump grinding

    • Timber milling

    • Remove dead/weak branches

    • Plant new trees

    • Treat diseased trees with pesticides

    Tree surgeons are trained to safely cut down trees and treat common tree diseases. Hire a tree surgeon to assess the trees on your property and provide the necessary maintenance work. Tree felling can be dangerous and is a job best left to the professionals.

  • How do I choose a tree surgeon?

    When you're hiring a tradesperson to perform tree surgery on your property, it's important to choose someone who has the experience, qualifications, and skills that you're happy with.

    Follow our expert tips to find reputable tree surgeons in London:

    • Ask friends, family, and other reliable tradespeople for recommendations

    • Read customer reviews and check online ratings

    • Request several quotes from local tree surgeons

    • Check tree surgeon insurance and qualifications

    • Ask about experience, skills, and service costs

    • Find out if the tree surgeon works to the following British Standards - British Standard 3998:2010 and British Standard 5837:2012

    • Read our expert tips on how to find a tree surgeon

    • Search Checkatrade

  • What qualifications does a tree surgeon need?

    Tree surgery can be dangerous - it’s important to hire a qualified professional to do the work.

    It’s mandatory for tree surgeons in the UK to have the following qualifications:

    • CS30 – Maintenance of the chainsaw, on-site preparation, and basic cross-cutting

    • CS31 – Fell and process small trees

    • CS38 – Climb a tree and perform aerial rescue

    • CS39 – Use of a chainsaw from a rope and harness

    Tree surgeons can also gain further forestry and arboriculture qualifications from the City & Guilds.

    More qualified tree surgeons typically charge more for their expertise. That being said, we do not recommend hiring a tree surgeon without the necessary qualifications to save money. While their prices may be cheaper, they are unlikely to provide a safe and high-quality service.

  • What insurance should a tree surgeon have?

    Make sure a tree surgeon has insurance cover in place before agreeing to hire them. Without insurance, the cost of any damage caused to your property as a result of the tree surgeon’s work may not be covered.

    Tree surgeons in London should have public liability insurance as a minimum. At Checkatrade, we only approve tradespeople with up-to-date public liability insurance.

  • How to dispose of tree waste after tree surgery?

    Many professional tree surgeons will take timber waste away from your home after surgery. There are several different ways that tree waste can be recycled and repurposed. For example, stumps can be ground into wood chippings to be donated to local parks or schools.

    Tree surgeons use environmentally friendly disposal methods if tree waste can’t be repurposed or recycled. Alternatively, you can cut felled trees into logs to use as fuel for your home’s fire or wood burner.

    Ask your local tree surgeon about waste disposal methods and costs. Some companies may charge an extra fee to remove the logs and branches from your property.

    You can also search Checkatrade to find garden waste removal services near you.

  • What is the difference between a tree surgeon and an arborist?

    Tree surgeons and arborists are two separate professions. The work of a tree surgeon focuses on the physical maintenance of trees, such as pruning, stumping, felling, and more.

    In comparison, an arborist’s work focuses more closely on the health of trees and plants. An arborist can identify tree health issues, diagnose diseases, and provide advice on tree care and treatments.

  • What’s the best time of year for tree removal?

    Winter and early spring are often cheaper times for tree removal. Demand is lower, trees are leafless, and work can be done more easily – especially in urban gardens or busy cities. However, emergency work (e.g. storm-damaged trees) should be handled immediately.
