Emergency Tree Work in Aston-on-Trent
Storm damage, fallen branches and dangerous trees dealt with safely across Aston-on-Trent and South Derbyshire.
Dealing With Dangerous & Storm-Damaged Trees
Not every tree problem is an emergency, but some genuinely can't wait — a large branch hanging precariously after a storm, a tree that's come down partially and is resting on another structure, or a split trunk that looks like it could fail at any time. These situations need prompt, careful attention rather than a standard scheduled visit.
Emergency tree work is inherently more hazardous than routine tree surgery, since the tree or branch may already be unstable. It should always be handled by someone experienced, rather than attempted as a DIY job — the Health and Safety Executive specifically warns against untrained people attempting emergency tree removal.
If a tree or branch has come down on a building, vehicle or public area, safety is the first priority — keep people and pets away from the area until it's been properly assessed.
Get in touch and describe the situation as clearly as you can — what's happened, whether anything is at immediate risk, and photos if it's safe to take them — and we'll advise on the best way to help.

Emergency Tree Work — Common Questions
Keep people and pets away from the area, avoid attempting to move or cut the tree yourself, and get in touch describing the situation. If there's a risk to power lines or the tree has hit a structure, treat it as urgent.
Yes — a partially fallen or storm-damaged tree can be under considerable tension and unpredictable to cut. This kind of work should always be left to someone with the right training and equipment.
Get in touch with details of the situation and we'll assess how urgent it is and get back to you as quickly as we can with a plan.
This depends on your specific policy and the circumstances — it's worth checking with your insurer, particularly if a tree has damaged a building or vehicle. We can provide documentation of the work carried out to support a claim.
