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. - 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. - Prefer a tree surgeon approved by the Arboricultural Association, and check with your local council's tree officer before working on any protected tree or one in a conservation area. ## Contact - Phone: 07862 139299 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/the-kent-woodsman-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, and reviews are cross-checked across 2 review sources.
