One of our areas of expertise is tree removal, a service we provide for domestic customers and commercial clients in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Orpington, Kent, London and the South of England. You must only use qualified tree surgeons for removals. Our personnel have LANTRA and NPTC accreditation, as well as the training required to perform this type of tree work in a safe, controlled manner. Tree surgery is a skilled occupation that very few people know how to do.
We are happy for customers to contact us to discuss their upcoming requirements. Our experts can also discuss the hedge cutting and tree pruning services we offer.
Marchant Tree Care always consults with the customer to find the best remedy for native species in and around Kent. We might recommend professional tree removals as a solution for any of the following issues, but we always preserve wherever possible:
The tree is dead, unhealthy or shows signs of disease or decay
The tree has suffered damage from recent storms and is beyond repair
The tree has roots or branches which encroach onto property or utility lines
The tree leans in a dangerous direction, such as onto a property or play area
The tree blocks a view, creates too much shade or inhibits plant growth
The tree blocks a pathway or inhibits plans for land development
The tree drops needles, sap, seeds, fruit or branches, causing inconvenience
Other reasons for tree removal, which might not be as obvious as those listed above, include interior decay, formation of a bad crotch, trunk cracks, infestations and overcrowding. Our tree surgeons pay meticulous attention to detail when evaluating problems at your Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Orpington, Kent, London or South of England property.
We produce a comprehensive survey and a detailed report of the type (or types) of tree work you need. Marchant Tree Care never recommends tree surgery, especially tree felling, unless it is absolutely necessary.
Most of our customers have seen directional felling in practice, usually on TV. This is a traditional tree removal process that we use when the falling tree poses no threat to nearby properties, surrounding woodland, or members of the public. We make vertical and horizontal cuts to stump height and repeat them on the other side of the tree. After clearing the notch, our tree surgeons make bore cuts on both sides to create a hinge.
The hinge dictates the direction in which the tree falls. Understandably, this type of tree surgery requires careful planning and execution. This explains why you should always use a trained arborist to fell a tree.
From Sevenoaks to Tonbridge, we take the welfare of our customers in Kent, London and the South of England seriously. We only opt for directional tree felling when it is 100% safe.
Our tree surgeons use a sectional tree dismantling process in areas where the presence of properties, barns, woodland, and other potential hazards could result in damage. During this form of tree surgery, a climber accesses the highest part of the tree and installs lines and pulleys. Dismantling most often starts at the lowest branch.
We perform tree removals of this kind safely by lowering cut limbs to the ground with care and precision. With a ground crew in place, tree work continues until we’ve removed all branches. At this point, the climber brings down the stem from the top in sections.
Again, our ground crew lowers removed material to floor level in a controlled manner to prevent shock loading; something that could have disastrous consequences on your property.
If you require removal services in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Orpington or the South of England and would like a free survey and consultation without obligation, please contact us today. We’ll arrange a personal visit at a time convenient for your diary. Marchant Tree Care also offers emergency tree surgery, pruning and felling services.
