Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Great job done by the team; very tidy, turned up when they said they would and completed on time to our satisfaction.
This is the second time I have used SPW and on both occasions they have been helpful when giving the quote, arrived promptly on the day, carried out the agreed work to a high standard and cleared the site leaving virtually no trace of having ever been there. I found Steve and his colleagues very personable and easy to deal with. I have no hesitation in recommending SPW.

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 directoryPublic-liability cover for tree work is commonly £2–5m. Anything much lower is worth questioning on a big job.
Check they carry public-liability insurance 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.
