Permission, nesting birds, the wood and the insurance: what people ask us at the survey.
Something we have not covered?
Only if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area, as much of Painswick and Minchinhampton does. We check with the council and make the application for you; it takes about six weeks.
Yes, after a check. From March to August we look for active nests before any cut, and if we find one the work waits until the young have flown.
Yes. The brash goes through the chipper and leaves with us. Logs can stay, split and stacked for the stove, or go with the chippings.
Yes: £5m public liability, and every climber holds NPTC certificates for the saw and the rope. We show you both at the survey.
A crew is on call 24 hours. For a tree on a house, a road or a line we aim to be with you within two hours anywhere around Stroud.
Yes, from £120. The grinder goes 30cm below the turf through a gate as narrow as 70cm, and we backfill the hole with the chippings.
