Emergency Tree Work for Chorlton Gardens
Storm damage in Chorlton tends to involve big timber. The suburb’s limes, sycamores and horse chestnuts are old enough to shed serious limbs in a gale, and along the Mersey side, where gardens meet the open floodplain at Chorlton Ees, willows and poplars snap and split more readily than most. If a tree has failed over your house, your drive or a shared entry, ring us and we will get to you as fast as we can, same day where we can.
We cover Chorlton and the surrounding area: Chorlton Green, Chorltonville, Beech Road, Barlow Moor, Chorlton Park and beyond (M21).

What’s Included
Dangerous trees are the one case where the council paperwork can wait. A hazardous tree in a conservation area or under a TPO can be made safe without the usual notice, but the exemption stands on evidence, so we photograph everything before a saw starts and keep the record straight with Manchester City Council afterwards. That protects you as the owner as much as it protects us.
- Storm-damaged, split and uprooted trees made safe
- Hung-up branches and hanging limbs brought down under control
- Fallen trees lifted off roofs, fences, sheds, cars and drives
- Everything photographed before we cut, ready for your insurance claim
- Straight advice on what needs doing now and what can wait
- Timber and brash cut up, cleared and swept before we leave
How It Works
Emergency Tree Work in Chorlton, FAQs
Ring us and we will give you an honest answer there and then. We reach genuine dangers as fast as we can, same day where we can, and Chorlton being two miles from our Stretford base helps. For anything urgent, phone rather than email.
Not if the tree is dangerous, the law allows immediate work to remove the risk. The catch is evidence: Manchester City Council can ask for proof afterwards, so we photograph the damage before cutting and only do what is needed to make the tree safe.
Yes. There’s an exemption for trees that are dead or unsafe to leave standing, so urgent work doesn’t have to wait for the usual council process. The catch is evidence: if the council later asks why a protected tree was cut, you need photographs of the damage and a clear reason why it was unsafe, so we photograph before we start and keep the record factual. If a protected tree is damaged but not actually dangerous, the normal route still applies: a TPO application to the council, or six weeks’ written notice in a conservation area, and we handle that paperwork with you.
As a rule the tree belongs to whoever owns the land it grows on, and if a healthy tree comes down in a storm the owner usually isn’t liable for the damage, because a storm is nobody’s fault. It changes if the tree was obviously dead, diseased or dangerous beforehand and the owner had been warned about it. Insurers argue those points between themselves, so the practical answer is: photograph everything, tell your insurer, and get the tree made safe first. We’re tree surgeons, not solicitors, so treat that as a rough guide rather than legal advice.
Often, but policies differ. Most home policies cover damage a fallen tree does to the building, cover for fences varies a lot, and some policies pay for removing the tree from whatever it hit. What every insurer wants is evidence, which is why we photograph the scene before we cut anything and give you a written record of the work done. Ring your insurer before we start if you can; if the tree could fall or drop a limb, making it safe comes first.
