Emergencies involving trees can occur unexpectedly and pose immediate risks. Here are some common scenarios where our emergency tree removal services are essential:
1. Storm Damage
Severe weather conditions like storms, high winds, heavy rain, or snow can cause significant damage to trees:
- Fallen Trees: Uprooted trees blocking roads, driveways, or damaging structures.
- Broken Limbs: Large branches hanging dangerously over homes or pathways.
- Leaning Trees: Trees that have partially uprooted and are at risk of falling.
2. Hazardous Hanging Branches
Broken or cracked branches, often caused by storms or lightning strikes, can pose a serious threat if not addressed promptly.
3. Disease and Decay
Trees weakened by disease or decay may collapse without warning, especially during adverse weather conditions.
4. Vehicle or Property Impact
Accidents involving vehicles or construction equipment can compromise a tree’s structural integrity, necessitating immediate removal.
5. Root Uplift and Ground Saturation
Heavy rainfall can saturate the soil, reducing stability around roots and causing trees to lean or fall.

FAQ’s About Emergency Tree Removal
What qualifies as a tree emergency?
Tree emergencies include fallen or uprooted trees, dangerously hanging branches, storm-damaged limbs, leaning trees, or any situation where a tree poses a risk to people, property, or public access.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
We aim to respond as quickly as possible—often within hours, depending on your location in Kent. We prioritise calls based on urgency and risk level to ensure your safety.
Is emergency tree removal covered by insurance?
In many cases, yes—especially if the damage or risk was caused by a storm or other unforeseen event. We can provide documentation and assistance for insurance claims if needed.
Can you remove trees that have fallen on buildings or vehicles?
Absolutely. Our team is trained to safely remove trees in complex, high-risk situations involving property or vehicles. We take every precaution to minimise further damage during removal.
Do I need permission to remove a tree in an emergency?
If the tree is protected (e.g., under a Tree Preservation Order), emergency removal is usually still allowed when safety is at risk. We can advise you on compliance and help with any necessary notifications after the fact.
What should I do while waiting for your team to arrive?
If safe, keep people and pets away from the affected area. Avoid attempting any removal yourself—damaged trees can be unpredictable and dangerous without proper equipment and training.
What happens after the emergency removal is done?
We clear all debris and ensure the site is safe. If you need stump removal, replanting, or landscape restoration, we can provide those services too.
