Reliable, hard working and neat. Turned up 8am on the dot, 4 workmen worked for half the day removing 2 leylandii trees. They left the garden looking very tidy afterwards. I would happily sue them again.
Great job by the guys. Very thorough, cleaned up perfectly afterwards and the price was very competitive also. Whilst here, they also gave advise on other trees we have in our garden. They also did great work in my neighbours garden so came recommended and I also recommend.

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 12 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

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.
