Emergency Tree Work & Fallen Tree Removal in Hampshire
Emergency Tree Surgeons to Support You, With Safety & Speed
When You May Need an Emergency Tree Surgeon
Emergency tree work is often required when a tree has suffered structural failure or shows signs of becoming unstable. This can include full or partial collapse, wind-snapped limbs, hanging branches (widow-makers), or a sudden change in the tree’s load distribution after a storm. These situations usually call for an emergency tree surgeon to make the area safe.
Other red flags include a tree beginning to lean beyond its natural growth angle, visible cracks or shear lines in the trunk, root plate movement or signs of uprooting. Issues like these can develop quickly and may pose an immediate hazard to people, vehicles, buildings or access routes, often requiring urgent tree removal or clearance.
If you’ve noticed any structural changes or you’re unsure about the level of risk it’s best to get in touch. We can assess storm-damaged or fallen trees, identify failure points and recommend the safest course of action, including emergency call-outs when needed.
Safety Considerations for Emergency Tree Work
Emergency tree work comes with far more risks than routine maintenance, which is why choosing an experienced emergency tree surgeon in Hampshire is so important.
Fallen trees, snapped branches and storm-damaged limbs can be under significant tension and even a small cut in the wrong place can cause sudden, unpredictable movement. Before any work begins we assess the stability of the tree, the direction of weight and whether any parts are likely to shift as they’re released.
This is essential for safe fallen tree removal, especially when the tree has come down during bad weather.
We also look carefully at the surrounding area. Many emergency call-outs involve trees close to homes, vehicles, fences or access routes, so we plan the safest approach to prevent further damage.
If the ground is unstable, access is tight or the tree is near a public footpath or road, we put safety measures in place such as temporary barriers, ground protection or controlled access points. This level of preparation is standard practice for our emergency tree services, ensuring every job is handled with care and control.
Where needed, we can manage traffic or safely guide pedestrians around the work area, particularly important when responding as a 24 hour tree surgeon during storms or strong winds.
Throughout the process we keep you informed, explain any risks clearly and make sure the immediate area is made safe as quickly as possible without taking unnecessary risks. Our priority is always to secure the site, protect your property and remove the danger in a controlled, professional way.

FAQs
What counts as emergency tree work?
Anything that poses an immediate risk to people, property or access. This includes fallen trees, storm-damaged branches, cracked trunks, trees blocking driveways or paths and anything that could cause further damage if left unattended.
How quickly can you attend?
Response times vary depending on the situation and location, but we aim to attend as quickly as possible for genuine emergencies. Because we’re local, we can usually get to Bishops Waltham and surrounding areas promptly.
Will you make the tree safe or remove it completely?
It depends on the condition of the tree. Sometimes we only need to make an unstable section safe. In other cases, full removal is the safest option. We’ll explain what’s needed once we’ve assessed the situation.
What should I do while waiting for you to arrive?
Keep well away from the tree, avoid going underneath damaged or hanging branches and make sure others stay clear too. If the tree is near a road or public area, do what you can to prevent people getting close without putting yourself at risk.
Can you deal with trees close to houses, fences or power lines?
Yes. We’re experienced in working in confined or high-risk areas and use controlled methods to protect nearby structures. If power lines are involved, we’ll guide you on the correct process and who needs to be notified.
Do you work in bad weather?
We carry out emergency tree work in challenging conditions when it’s safe to do so. If wind speeds or conditions are too dangerous, we may need to wait briefly for safety, but we’ll always advise you clearly.
Will you remove all the waste after the emergency work?
Absolutely. All cuttings, branches and hedge trimmings can be removed from site and responsibly disposed of as part of the service. We can also leave wood chippings for mulch if you prefer.
