Emergency Tree Work for Stretford Gardens
Storm damage in Stretford tends to show up along the open edges of town. Wind gets a clean run across Stretford Meadows and up the Mersey valley at Stretford Ees, and the gardens backing onto that green space catch the worst of it: split limbs, hung-up branches and the odd tree gone over onto a fence or shed. Ring us and we’ll get to you as fast as we can, same day where we can, being based in M32 means we’re not crossing half of Greater Manchester first.
We cover Stretford and the surrounding area: Gorse Hill, Lostock, Firswood, Trafford Bar, Humphrey Park and beyond (M32).

What’s Included
A dangerous tree changes the paperwork rules, but it doesn’t remove them. Dead and dangerous trees are exempt from the usual TPO and conservation area process, but Trafford Council will want evidence, so we photograph the defect before we cut and make the tree safe without destroying the proof. The same photos usually do the job for your insurer too.
- 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 Stretford, FAQs
Keep everyone away from it and ring us. A fallen tree loads up in strange ways and a trapped stem can spring violently when it’s cut, so it isn’t a chainsaw-from-the-shed job. We’re based in Stretford, so we’ll get out as fast as we can, make it safe, then clear the lot once the weight is off the fence.
Yes. A tree that’s an immediate danger is exempt from the six weeks’ notice a conservation area normally requires, but the exemption only stands up with evidence. We record the defect, do the minimum needed to make things safe, and square the paperwork with Trafford Council so you’re covered.
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.
Usually not. Plenty of trees have leaned for decades and are perfectly stable. The warning sign is change: a lean that has got worse, soil lifting or cracking around the base, roots showing on one side, or ground that feels springy underfoot. If you spot any of that after a storm, keep people away from the tree and call us. If the lean is old and nothing has moved, it can wait for a normal visit rather than an emergency call-out, and that costs you less.
Report it to the council. Most run an online form or a phone line for dangerous trees, and genuine hazards get treated as a priority. You’re allowed to cut back branches that overhang your boundary, but you can’t fell someone else’s tree, council or private. If a council tree has dropped a limb onto your property, photograph it, report it and tell your insurer, and we can make your side safe and give you a written record of what we found.
