Professional Emergency Tree Work
Storm-damaged and dangerous trees require careful assessment and experienced decision-making. Every emergency is different, which is why we visit your property to assess the tree, surrounding hazards and access before recommending the safest course of action.
Where possible, we'll always look for the most appropriate solution. Sometimes this means removing a dangerous branch, reducing a damaged canopy or making a tree safe rather than removing it completely.
Our experienced tree surgeons regularly undertake emergency tree work throughout North Tyneside, Newcastle, Northumberland and the wider North East for homeowners, businesses and landowners.

Our emergency tree services
Storm Damage
High winds and severe weather can leave trees unstable or partially collapsed. We safely assess storm-damaged trees and carry out the work needed to reduce risk.
Fallen Trees
Trees that have fallen across gardens, driveways or access routes can often be removed safely using specialist equipment while minimising further damage.
Dangerous Hanging Branches
Broken branches can become unstable without warning. We safely remove hazardous branches using professional climbing and lowering techniques.
Emergency Tree Dismantling
Where a tree cannot safely remain standing, we can carefully dismantle it section by section using specialist climbing, rigging and lowering techniques.
Emergency Tree Assessment
Not every damaged tree requires removal. We assess every situation carefully and provide honest advice on whether a tree can be retained safely through remedial work.
OUR APPROACH
OUR APPROACH TO EMERGENCY TREE WORK
Before starting work, we assess the tree, nearby buildings, access and any other hazards. We explain the recommended work and agree the scope and cost with you.
Where a damaged tree can be safely retained, we consider remedial pruning rather than unnecessary removal. Work is carried out by NPTC City & Guilds qualified, insured tree surgeons, in line with recognised industry best practice and BS 3998 where applicable.
