How to Choose the Right Tree Cutting Company Chigwell Tree Services
Introduction • Tree cutting is a serious task — safety, legality, and quality matter. • Choosing the right company ensures professionalism, compliance, and value for money. • Let’s explore what to look for before hiring.
Why Choosing the Right Company Matters • Prevents property damage or personal injury • Ensures work is carried out legally (e.g., TPO compliance) • Provides long-term care for your landscape • Helps avoid unexpected costs and poor workmanship
Verify Credentials & Insurance • Always choose a company that is fully licensed • Ask for Public Liability Insurance and Employer’s Liability Insurance • Ensure they comply with local laws and health & safety standards
Check Experience & Qualifications • Look for certified arborists or tree surgeons (e.g., NPTC certified in the UK) • Years of experience dealing with various types of trees and cutting services • Ask about previous jobs similar to yours
Read Reviews & Testimonials • Browse Google Reviews, Trustpilot, or Checkatrade • Request references from recent clients • A good company should have a solid reputation in your local area
Evaluate Services Offered • Do they provide just cutting or also stump removal, crown reduction, emergency services? • Choose a full-service provider if you may need more than one job done • Ask about post-cut cleanup and waste disposal
Understand the Pricing Structure • Get detailed, written estimates — no verbal agreements • Ask if the quote includes VAT, cleanup, permits, etc. • Be wary of unusually low prices (they may cut corners)
Safety Standards & Equipment • Check if the team wears proper PPE (helmets, gloves, eye protection) • Ask about risk assessments and safety protocols • Modern equipment indicates a well-invested and prepared company
Compliance with Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) • A reputable company will help check for TPOs or Conservation Area restrictions • They should assist in applying for permissions from the local council • Never proceed without ensuring legal clearance
Emergency Availability • Do they offer 24/7 emergency services? • Quick response matters after storms or when trees become hazardous • Ask about typical turnaround time for urgent jobs
Communication & Professionalism • Is the company responsive and polite in communication? • Do they show up on time for site visits or quotes? • Clear communication reflects reliability and trustworthiness
Conclusion • Don’t rush—do your homework before hiring. • The right company offers peace of mind, legal compliance, and quality results. • Trust your instincts and verify everything!
