Tree Surgeon Bentley

Those who use an unqualified operative, or attempt to do tree work for themselves, may cause a risk of damage to the trees, to property and to life. However, tree work is not even safe for experienced tree surgeons, who know about all of the dangers involved. The reality is tree surgery is one of the most dangerous jobs in the UK, with an average of 140 serious injuries and three deaths per year within the profession, hence it's definitely not safe work for amateurs.

With around 5 people a year being killed by falling trees and branches in the United Kingdom, even a neglected or damaged tree can also cause a danger to life. If there is an injury, or damage to property due to you hiring somebody to do tree work, you may well be liable for any compensation to any third-party due to the consequences of your actions. This is why it is essential to retain the services of a skilled tree surgeon to carry out the work on your trees. (All figures are from HSE).

A skilled Bentley tree surgeon will likely be a signed up member of at least one of the 2 principal trade bodies. The membership and professional status of any tree surgeon in Bentley can be checked on the websites of both the Arboricultural Association (AA) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). This page permits you to check out if any specific tree surgeon has ARB Approved Contractor status, and is a member of either of these bodies.

You can get in touch with these professional bodies for mediation and for guidance and help at any stage, if there is an issue during or after any tree work has been accomplished.

You shouldn't be afraid to respectfully decline the offer of an estimate from somebody who you can't find on this directory list, since at the end of the day, it's an approved contractor who you are actually looking for. It's best to get a minimum of three quotes from different companies in the Bentley area, when you have thoroughly checked their qualifications and professional associations. You should ask the following questions while obtaining these quotes, stating you need the answers because of the risks involved in the work:

• Do you offer written quotations? Only ever accept a written quote. NEVER accept a verbal quote only.
• Would it be possible for me to contact somebody you've recently done work for, so that I can inspect your work? Independently checking any recent work is always a good idea.
• What insurance cover is provided? Your tree surgeon ought to be able to show you an insurance certificate covering at the least five million pounds public liability, as stated by the ISA and AA.
• Have you got a NPTC certificate for chainsaw use, and documentary verification of your professional memberships and qualifications? Any worker/tree surgeon using a chainsaw, must by law have gained a NPTC/LANTRA certificate. Qualifications may include City & Guilds National Diplomas and Certificates in Arboriculture.

The written quote should include easily followed details of the work to be undertaken. It should include details of any trees which might be protected, and the required steps to get permission to carry out work on them, and also state whose responsibility it is to remove tree branches, stumps and waste. Unless you're a commercial entity, you should also make sure that VAT is included on the quotation. It is extremely important to recognise that you've got a responsibility to employ only competent people to work on your property and trees.

PRIOR TO WORK - Making enquiries into the possibility of any trees having protected status, your selected Bentley tree surgeon should ensure that any tree work can get the go-ahead from the relevant local authority department. Finding that a tree has got protected status does not imply that work can't be carried out, as even protected trees need to be maintained in order to cut back old or dying wood and ensure the safety of the public.

If your property in Bentley is inside a designated conservation area then at least 6 weeks written notice is required to the Local Planning Authority prior to any work being carried out. However, tree stems of under 7.5 centimetres in diameter when measured at 1.5m from the ground are free from this requirement. Also, if a protected tree's branches need to be thinned or pruned to promote and stimulate growth, written notice won't be necessary.

Your Bentley tree surgeon will determine the required remedial treatment and how the required outcome can be achieved with safety in mind after conducting a full assessment of your trees health. This will involve doing a full risk assessment to include public spaces, your property and any section of neighbouring properties that could be affected by falling debris and branches. At this point, the level of protection needed and the number of operatives required will also be ascertained. This is both PPE (personal protective equipment) along with other safety measures to keep property and the general public safe from damage or harm.

ON THE DAY OF WORK - Barriers and safety measures will be put in place before any tree felling, climbing or cutting of branches commences, to keep passers-by and unauthorised persons away from the work area. Passing traffic might need to be halted temporarily if there is any risk of falling debris onto a public highway.

Depending on the kind of work that is required a tree surgeon will need varying levels of protection. At the very least they'll be wearing special protective clothing to prevent serious cutting injuries to the torso, hands and legs, when doing chainsaw work. All workers involved in the operation must wear eye and head protection, and hi-vis clothing, at all times.

Safety climbing equipment and ladders will need to be deployed if any working at height is involved, and to help in the safe removal of high branches and heavy sections of tree trunk, extra operatives will be needed. A skip or other method of transporting the waste away will be stationed as close as possible to the work area, therefore it is a good idea to inform your nearby neighbours of the need for access.

UPON COMPLETION OF WORK - The whole site can be cleared of all debris, and all the waste and branches can be taken away, when all the work has been finished. Especially where the trees are covered by TPOs, a certificate of work should then be created by your tree surgeon, which can be signed off and a copy given to you. If there were any public areas that needed safety measures, this can be removed and footpaths and highways will be re-opened to the public.

Problems or issues should be fixed immediately by approaching your tree surgeon directly. If your tree surgeon is a registered member of a trade body, you can receive guidance and help from the Arboricultural Association or the International Society of Arboriculture in order to reach a satisfactory conclusion, if any further arbitration is required.

Tree Transplanting Bentley

Transplanting fully-grown trees is a delicate, yet rather straightforward process, mainly due to advanced tractor mounted tree spades, tree lifting equipment and other specialist machinery. An experienced tree moving service in Bentley will be happy to move any trees that you have on your property, or transplant adult trees to add a great new look to your garden.

Transplanting a tree in Bentley causes less stress to the root system and health of the tree in the autumn and winter, but it can be achieved during the warmer months by soaking the ground comprehensively before lifting. To lift a tree from the soil a tractor mounted tree spade is forced down into the dirt to surround the main root ball, before lifting the whole tree free. If the tree is not to be straight away replanted, it can be temporarily stored providing that its root ball and the surrounding soil is kept damp.

An experienced tree transplanting service in Bentley will communicate with the local authorities to make sure that preservation orders and local regulations are complied with throughout the tree lifting and transplantation procedure. It should be possible to find transplanting services in Woodlands, Edenthorpe, Bentley Rise, Toll Bar, Adwick le Street, Intake, Cusworth, Scawsby, Rostholme, Wheatley Park, Shaftholme, Newton, Doncaster, Kirk Sandall, Carcroft, Arksey, and Bentley.

Hedge Cutting Bentley

Although Bentley tree surgeons are mainly involved with the maintenance and care of trees and shrubs they're regularly called in to cut back and trim hedges. Where there are conifer hedges like Leylandii, this is especially important, given that they can grow so high that a regular gardener or homeowner will find them nigh on impossible to cope with using bog standard tools.

A hedge that is neglected and poorly maintained can soon become overgrown and quickly get out of control. Routine trimming is advisable if you don't want a hedge to overrun large parts of your garden in Bentley, and along with making the hedge stronger it will also add to its visual appeal.

If you're intending to sell your property, neat hedges will help to make your whole garden look tidier, and might even increase the value of your home in Bentley.
