Tree Surgeon Molesey

Using a non-qualified person for tree work or attempting to do it by yourself, could harm your trees, cause damage to property, or even lead to injury or death. However, tree work is not even safe for professional tree surgeons, who are aware of all the risks involved with it. In fact tree surgery is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United Kingdom, with an average of three deaths and one hundred and forty serious injuries annually within the industry, thus it's definitely not safe work for amateurs to do.

With falling branches or trees causing around 5 fatalities a year in Britain, a risk to life can even be posed by a damaged or poorly maintained tree. If an injury, or damage to property occurs due to you hiring somebody to carry out tree work, you may well be liable for any compensation to any third-party. These are the reasons why it is very important to employ an accredited tree surgeon to do the work on your trees in Molesey. (The source of the above figures was HSE).

There are two major professional industry bodies, one or both of which an experienced Molesey tree surgeon should be a registered member of. The websites of both the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) and the AA (Arboricultural Association) allow you to view the professional standing and membership of any tree surgeon in Molesey. Membership of either of these 2 organisations gives the tree surgeon recognised ARB Approved Contractor status which can be checked out on this webpage.

You're able to communicate with these industry organisations for mediation and for guidance and help at any stage, if an issue arises during or after any tree work has been carried out.

If anyone offers to provide you with an estimate for any tree work and you're unable to find them on this directory, you should respectfully decline their offer of work and continue your search for an approved contractor. You should try to get at least 3 different quotes from various companies in Molesey as soon as you've reassured yourself of their qualifications and professional associations. You should ask the below questions while obtaining these quotes, expressing that you need them to provide the answers because of the risks involved in the work:

• What is your level of insurance cover? Your tree surgeon ought to be able to produce an insurance certificate covering at the least £5 Million public liability, as outlined by the AA and ISA.
• Do you offer written quotations? Always try to get a written quote, and NEVER accept a quote that is only given verbally.
• Can you provide documentary verification of your professional membership, qualifications and a NPTC certificate for chainsaw use and maintenance? Any operative/tree surgeon who uses a chainsaw, must by law have NPTC/LANTRA certification. Qualifications may include City & Guilds Certificates and National Diplomas in Arboriculture.
• Can I assess the standard of your tree work by contacting a person you have recently worked for? Independently examining any recent work is always recommended.

On the written quotation that you receive, you will need there to be clear and accurate specifics of all the work that's to be undertaken. Who is responsible for the removal of waste, tree branches and stumps should be stated, as should details of any trees which might be protected, and the required steps to get permission to work on them. You should also ensure that VAT is included on the quote unless you're a commercial enterprise. You've got a responsibility to hire only trained people to work on your trees and property, and it is very important to understand that fact.

PRIOR TO WORK - The tree surgeon you have chosen in Molesey, will investigate whether any of your trees are covered by a tree protection order (TPO), and will check with the local authority if the green light for any work is forthcoming. Finding a tree has got protected status doesn't imply that work cannot be carried out, as even protected trees need to be maintained so as to cut back old or dying wood and ensure public safety.

If your property in Molesey happens to be within a designated conservation area, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) will need at least six weeks written notice of any proposed tree work. This notice is not required if the tree trunk is under 7.5cm in diameter when measured at 1.5m above ground level. Also, if the branches of a protected tree need to be pruned or thinned in order to sustain and promote growth, written notice will not be necessary.

After fully assessing the health of the trees on your property, your Molesey tree surgeon will determine the necessary treatments and how the required outcome can safely be accomplished. Where there is any possibility of falling branches, a full risk assessment will have to be carried out on public areas, your property, and parts of neighbouring properties that might be affected. This stage will also determine the level of protection required and the amount of operatives needed. This will include a number of safety measures as well as PPE to ensure the safety of the general public and adjacent property.

ON THE DAY OF WORK - To keep passers-by and unauthorised persons away from the area of work, cones, barriers and safety measures should be put in place before any climbing, tree felling or cutting of branches commences. Where there is the possibility of debris falling onto a public highway, it may be necessary to briefly halt the traffic.

Depending on the type of work required a tree surgeon will need varying degrees of protection. At the very least when doing chainsaw work they'll be wearing protective clothing to prevent serious cutting injuries to the torso, legs and hands. Every operative involved in the work, must at all times be wearing high-vis clothing, together with eye and head protection.

Additional staff will generally be necessary to help in the safe removal of high branches and large pieces of tree trunk, especially if working at height is involved, and where ladders and associated climbing equipment is being used. For transporting waste away from the work area, a skip or truck will be parked as close to the work area as possible. This requirement for access is reason enough for informing your next door neighbours of the intended work.

AFTER COMPLETION OF WORK - The site can be cleared of any debris, and all the waste materials can be transported away, once all of the work has been completed. Your tree surgeon will then sign off and provide you with a certificate of work, especially where the trees are under a protection order. If any safety measures were put in public spaces they can now be removed, with roads and pathways being re-opened to the public.

If you have any issues or problems with the completed work, you should first take them up with the tree surgeon so that they can be put right straight away. If there's any further dispute or arbitration needed, and your tree surgeon is a member of a trade body, you can receive guidance and help from the Arboricultural Association or the International Society of Arboriculture so as to reach a satisfactory solution.

Stump Grinding

It's important to it is sensible to employ a company having the proper gear and knowhow, when you need to have specialist services like stump grinding done in Molesey.

Crown Thinning Molesey

If you would like to lower the stress on specific limbs caused by snow, ice, wind, or gravity, to lower the weight of the crown of the tree, to decrease the wind resistance of the tree, to prevent the tree from being uprooted in strong winds or to let more sunlight inside, a lot of the smallest incidental branches that are growing at the outer crown of a broad leafed tree are clipped in a technique that is called crown thinning. The overall shape and size of the tree are not changed by this, and the chances are that it'll have to be carried out on a fairly regular schedule, as shoots continue to grow. Crown thinning should never transform the overall form and size of the tree, but needs to produce a uniform thickness of foliage surrounding uniformly spaced limbs. You'll be able to get crown thinning specialists in Weston Green, Teddington, Long Ditton, Esher, East Molesey, Ditton Hill, Sunbury, Surbiton, West Molesey, Hanworth, Claygate, Thames Ditton, Hinchley Wood, Hampton Court, North Claygate, and the Molesey area.
