Honest Quotes from Established London Tree Experts
Getting a price for tree work shouldn’t be a hassle. At London Tree Surgeons, we keep things simple. We don’t give vague “guesstimates” over the phone, and we don’t scribble numbers on the back of a cigarette packet. We provide professional, detailed, and fully transparent written quotations at no cost.
Whether you have a single overgrown lilac bush in a terraced garden or a massive site clearance project for a construction firm, we treat every enquiry with the same level of professionalism. With 11 teams covering the whole of London, we can usually get an expert to your door within a few days to properly assess the job. We consider access, check the tree’s health, and give you a price we stand by.
Do You Need a Quote or a Survey?
It is important to know the difference before you book, as it saves everyone time.
A Free Quote is for when you want work carried out. If you want a tree pruned, removed, or a stump ground out, this service is 100% free. We visit, we give you a price for the physical work, and if you are happy, we book it in.
Tree Surveys and reports are legal documents provided by our certified arboricultural consultants. These legal documents require detailed inspections and must fulfil specific criteria to be accepted by mortgage lenders or local authorities. If you need a formal tree survey or report for a mortgage application, an insurance claim regarding subsidence, or a BS5837 report for planning permission, these are services you will need to pay for.
We understand this can be confusing, so if you are unsure whether you require a free tree surgery quote or a chargeable tree survey, contact us, and we’ll clarify your requirements.
Why Our Quotes Are Different
In the tree industry, the lowest price is rarely the best value. If a quote looks too good to be true, it usually means they are cutting corners on insurance, safety, or waste disposal. When you get a quote from London Tree Surgeons, you are paying for peace of mind.
- Fixed and Final. The price in the email is the price you pay. We don’t add hidden “waste removal fees” or “fuel surcharges” at the end of the job.
- Fully Insured. Our prices reflect our coverage. We carry £10 million in Public and Employers’ Liability insurance plus a £2 million Professional Indemnity policy. If we drop a branch on your conservatory (which we won’t), it gets fixed. A “man with a van” offering a cheap cash price often disappears the moment something breaks.
- We handle the permissions. If your quote involves a tree in a Conservation Area or one covered by a TPO, our administrative costs for handling the council paperwork are included, provided you instruct us to carry out the work.
The Process: From Click or Call to Cut
- The Visit: Once you contact London Tree Surgeons, we’ll arrange a suitable time to visit your property. You won’t meet a salesperson; you will meet a qualified arborist who understands tree biology. They will advise on what is best for the tree and your garden. Please note, we can often provide quotations from photos or videos without a site visit, but this will be at our discretion and depend on the complexity of the job. Either way, our prices will be fixed, so the costs we quote will be the price you pay.
- The PDF Quote: We email you a formal PDF quotation, which details the exact specifications of the work (e.g., “Crown thin by 20%”), allowing you to compare us like-for-like with other companies. All quotations include our terms and conditions, so please take time to read these before accepting the quotation.
- The Booking: If you are happy to proceed, you simply click “Accept” on the email or call our office. We will then schedule the work at a time that is convenient for you and plan the logistics of your project, including parking and access. If you need council permission, we submit the applications immediately and can book the work for when the permission is given or expires (usually 6 weeks).
- The Job: On the day, our team arrives in uniform and full PPE. They confirm the work spec with you, carry out the job safely, and then clean up meticulously. You only pay once we’ve completed all the work outlined in the quotation and you are satisfied.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tree Surgery Quotes
How much does tree removal cost in London?
It varies widely by size and access. A small fruit tree might cost £250+VAT to remove, while a massive London Plane tree that requires rigging down over a glass roof could cost £3,000+. Because every tree is unique, we can’t offer a flat rate, so we offer free site visits to provide an accurate price.
Do I need to be home for the quote?
Not necessarily. If we can access the garden via a side gate, we can visit while you are at work. We will take photos and email the quote to you. However, meeting you on-site is always better, so we can discuss exactly what you want to achieve.
Is VAT included in the quote?
We always show the VAT clearly on our quotations, and we are a fully VAT-registered limited company. Be wary of rogue tree surgeons in London, who may add VAT to their prices without being VAT-registered so they can pocket the extra 20%.
