Tree Removal in Old Trafford
Safe, tidy tree felling and removal. Straight fells where there’s space, careful dismantling where there isn’t, and every scrap cleared before we leave. Around two miles from our Stretford base.
Tree Removal for Old Trafford Gardens
Straight fells are rare in Old Trafford. The terraces off Ayres Road and Seymour Grove back onto yards a few paces deep, with the neighbour’s outrigger, a shared wall and a washing line all inside the drop zone, so tree removal here is nearly always a sectional dismantle: climb the tree, cut it small, lower every piece on a rope and stack it in a space the size of a bathroom.
We cover Old Trafford and the surrounding area: Trafford Bar, Brooks Bar, Seymour Grove, Ayres Road, Gorse Hill and beyond (M16).

What’s Included
Access sets the plan in M16 as much as the tree does. Plenty of back yards can only be reached through the house or along a shared entry, which means timber gets cut short, carried out by hand, and the route through gets sheeted before the first cut is made. We work all of that out at the quote visit so the written price reflects the real job, not a guess from the kerb. A tight plot with a big tree in it is normal work for us, not a special case.
- Straight felling where there’s room to drop the tree whole
- Sectional dismantling with ropes and rigging for tight gardens
- Dead, dying, dangerous and storm damaged trees removed
- TPO and conservation area checks, council paperwork handled
- Logs cut to length and left, or everything chipped and taken away
- Fully insured, with free written quotes on every job
How It Works
Tree Removal in Old Trafford, FAQs
Yes, that describes most of our removal work in M16. The tree comes down in small sections, everything is lowered on ropes, and the wood goes out through the house or the back entry with the route protected. It takes longer than an open-garden fell and the quote will price it that way.
Only if the tree is protected. A TPO needs a council application before any work, and in a conservation area the council needs six weeks’ written notice for any tree with a trunk wider than 75mm at 1.5m up. Note that M16 straddles two authorities: Old Trafford is Trafford Council, while Whalley Range past Brooks Bar is Manchester City Council, and they keep separate registers. We check the right one for your address and handle the paperwork with you.
Yes, that’s exactly what sectional dismantling is for. Rather than letting anything fall, we climb the tree, cut it into manageable pieces and lower each one on ropes, swinging them clear of the glass. It takes longer than a straight fell, but nothing comes down that isn’t under control.
It shouldn’t. We plan where everything lands, lower the heavy sections rather than dropping them, and carry the wood out instead of dragging it across soft ground. On a big removal you might get some flattened grass where we’ve been working, but that recovers in a few weeks. Ruts and gouges are the sign of a rushed job, and you won’t get them from us.
It depends on the tree and the access. A small tree with room to fell it whole can be down and cleared in a couple of hours. A large tree that has to come down in sections over a garden takes most of a day, sometimes two. We’ll give you a realistic timescale with the quote so you know what to expect.
