The Work
Tree Felling You Can Trust in Upper Norwood
Tree Felling across Upper Norwood and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Upper Norwood address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.
Sometimes a tree just has to come down. Too big for the garden, too close to the house, dead, dangerous, or simply not wanted any more. Whatever the reason, felling a tree properly in Upper Norwood takes more than a chainsaw, it takes a plan for where the tree is going to go.
So the tree comes down in sections from the top. Each piece is cut, roped and lowered rather than dropped, which is slower and far more controlled. It is also the reason two trees of the same size can be quoted very differently.
We cover Upper Norwood (SE19) and the surrounding streets.
- A look at the tree on site before any price is given
- Whole-tree felling or roped sectional dismantling, whichever the space allows
- Timber cut, chipped and cleared, or left as logs if you want them
- A check on preservation orders and conservation areas before work is booked
- The site swept and left walkable at the end of the day

The Work
What is Tree Felling?
Tree felling means taking a whole tree down, not pruning it back or thinning the crown. Where there is room, the tree comes down whole in one controlled cut. Where it is close to a house, a fence, or the streets below Crystal Palace, it gets taken apart from the top instead, roped down in sections so nothing falls where it shouldn't. Either way, the aim is the same: the tree comes down under control, not by chance.
What We Do
How Tree Felling Works in Upper Norwood, Step by Step
You call or send the form
Tell us the address and roughly what you are looking at. A photo from your phone saves a lot of guessing.
We come and look
Access decides most of the price, so it gets seen rather than described. You get the price in writing.
We check the paperwork
If the tree carries a preservation order, or sits in a conservation area, consent has to be in place before anyone climbs it.
The tree comes down
Whole where there is room, roped down in sections where there isn't. The chipper runs alongside.
We clear up
Timber goes as logs or chippings, whichever you want. Otherwise it goes with us and the ground gets swept.
Stump Removal
Tree Stump Removal in Upper Norwood
A stump left behind in an Upper Norwood garden carries on growing and blocks off the ground until it is dealt with. Grinding it out clears it for good.
Tree Cutting
Tree Cutting in Upper Norwood
Where an Upper Norwood tree needs bringing back in size rather than removing, we shape it to suit the garden instead.
The Price
How Much Does Tree Felling Cost in Upper Norwood?
Access moves the price more than the size of the tree does, and access is the one thing you cannot judge from a description. So every job is quoted on site: someone comes out, looks at what is around the tree and how the timber gets away, and gives you a figure in writing. The visit is free and there is no obligation.
- Larger Upper Norwood gardens can mean bigger, older trees, which changes both the time on site and how the timber is brought down.
- Whether the tree can come down whole or has to be roped down in sections.
- What is underneath or around it, a greenhouse, a conservatory or a neighbour's shed all slow the work down.
- Whether the stump is ground out or left.
- Preservation orders and conservation areas, which set a consent period before work can start.

Why Choose Us
Why Upper Norwood calls us back
The price comes after we have seen it
Access decides most of what a tree job costs, and you cannot see access down a phone line. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing that does not move on the day.
We finish the job the same day we start it
The chipper runs alongside the cutting, so there is no stack of brash left by the gate waiting on a second visit.
Trees and grounds from one team
The same crew fells the tree, washes the patio it was dropping on, and lays the turf afterwards. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.
You are told when something is a bad idea
Conifers cut past the green never recover. Gravel over bare soil sinks. Where a job will not give you what you are hoping for, we say so before quoting, not after.
You do not pay until you are happy with it
No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.
