Highlights

"We needed a large tree removed from our grounds that was blocking light into our house. The Viking Forest team were quick to arrive and very pleasant to deal with. I felt safe to leave them to their work and got on with other jobs. They left the area spotless and took away the wood that I didn't want. Would recommend them to anyone and will be back in touch if I need any further help on the grounds."

"Viking Forestry have been the most honest and easiest to deal with in a long time and a gem to find.. Alec the owner is a very honest, helpful guy who helped me with some problems with network rail which resoled the matter.. The guys who work from him are very good at what they do always on time worked hard and a happy bunch of lads... I would recommend this company highly no matter how big or small a job it is.."

"The job specification was the removal and/or severe pollarding of 10-15 huge beech and sycamore trees, a removal of a further 20-30 mixed variety trees that had become unmanageable and general understory clearance. The site had buildings of historical significance that needed protecting, and the timber was to be removed from site and stacked nearby. This totally around 100 tonnes. All documentation was provided for the team as well as risk assessments, health and safety report etc. The team were polite, tidy and worked hard under difficult circumstances to complete the job in a timely..."

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 directory

Check 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.
