Highlights
"Look no further, Josh is your man! I got a few quotes to have a large tree felled in my garden. Josh gave me options to keep costs down and was the most reasonable quote. He was highly professional, polite, on time and clearly very good at his job. He came with help who was equally as polite and professional. After the tree was chopped down, he tidied up responsibly, left me a neat pile of logs and 2 huge bags of wood chip, as requested. He felled the tree right down to the ground, leaving a tidy stump. I cannot fault the service Primary Tree Care provided and 100% recommend them."
"Answered promptly & arrived on time to look at required work. Estimate emailed that evening & work undertaken within the week. Would highly recommend."
"Came out to quote, offered advice but wasn’t pushy, was cheaper than another quote and able to undertake the work promptly. Did the work when they said they would and took all the off cuts away leaving site tidy."

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check — a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 7 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Tree work is dangerous and unregulated - anyone can call themselves a tree surgeon. Arboricultural Association ARB Approved Contractors are independently assessed for the quality of their tree work, their qualifications, their insurance and their health & safety, and are re-assessed regularly. Check they're listed before work starts near your home or power lines.
Check the ARB Approved Contractor directoryCheck they carry public-liability insurance (commonly £2–5m) and ask to SEE the certificate — tree work is high-risk and damage to your property, a neighbour's, or a person is expensive to put right.
Before any felling or heavy pruning, check whether the tree is protected — a preservation order, a conservation area, or active bird nesting — because YOU, the homeowner, can be fined for unauthorised work, not just the contractor.
Get the scope in writing (which trees, how much to take off, and who removes the waste and grinds the stump), and never pay in full before the work is finished.
