KW Tree care is available for emergency call-outs 7 days a week.

The normal procedure for dealing with an emergency such as a fallen limb or tree is to make it as safe and as tidy as possible for it then to be fully cleared at another time to ensure minimal disruption to neighbours (noisy machines).
We can deal with trees fallen on cars, and over footpaths and remove dangerous limbs that haven't yet snapped.

Our Priorities:

• We Always Put Quality First
• Customer Satisfaction is Our Priority
• High-Quality Work
• Professional Team

Step 1 - Wild Life Inspection

Often site clearances involve working on land that hasn't been used by humans for a number of years. During this time of inactivity, nature likes to take over. We need to ensure that there are no bats or any other protected wildlife on the site. If we believe there is a significant chance/risk we will recommend getting an independent ecology report. This is an important step to both protect the wildlife and avoid severe fines for both parties. This is in keeping with the wildlife and countryside act 1981.

Step 2 - Dangerous Substance or Waste Inspection

Chippers and flails don't particularly like bits of metal going through them! To combat downtime on the job will have a 'mooch' around, prior to booking, and evaluate whether it would be beneficial to have a grab lorry collect waste that has accumulated over the years. It's fairly commonplace that old buildings and land that have been used for fly-tipping may have harmful substances such as the asbestos present. Again, to prevent downtime it's best to deal with this via a waste removal specialist, prior to the commencement of works.

Step 3 - Flailing

'Can't see the wood for the trees' - Where practical we like to first start off by 'flailing' the small vegetation to allow better access for larger machines and to speed up the felling and removal process. It helps us get a better idea of stumps, and dips in the ground and reduces the frequency of trips, slips, and falls.

KW Tree Care has provided tree surgery and planting to the commercial sector for the last 6 years with great success. We are big fans of ïmachines over menÍ which means we can operate as smaller highly skilled, close-knit teams whilst still having the ability to take on large jobs and clearances by utilizing grapple saws, whole tree chippers, flails and MEWPs. This technique ensures we always have the best members of staff available and therefore do not need to rely on a subcontracted workforce.

We pride ourselves on communication and aim to have RAMS over within 24Ð48hrs of request. Assisted by Croner, we have access to a 24/7 health and safety phone line alongside a retainer agreement which allows us a turnaround time of 3 hours for any ad hoc risk assessments or documentation.

KW Tree Care has £10 Million in Public Liability, Employers Liability, and Product and Environmental insurance. This ensures we are compliant on almost all sites and highways.

Stump grinding and stump removal

The size of the stump in question determines the approach we take to remove the stump. For small stumps, we will 'grub' them out with hand tools and sometimes mechanical winches. Stumps that cannot be removed by hand, will need to be ground out with a machine called a stump grinder. Depending on the depth required can affect the cost and time taken.
Other factors that will affect the quote and the approach we take would include the ability to get access to your garden. For example, a lot of London-based houses do not have rear access to their garden, thus rendering any of our large grinders useless, we, therefore, require the use of our smaller equipment to get through the house safely. The downside to this is the extra time the use of a smaller machine needs to ïeatÍ through the stump.

Poisoning (alternative option)

For a fee of £30 (small/medium size stump), we can poison a stump so it deteriorates over time and ensures it does not continue to grow. The way in which we do this helps prevent the poisoning of children and animals. We cut a flat slice off of the stump and then drill multiple holes which we hammer in capsules containing the specialist poison. We then take the offcut and screw it down onto the stump to stop the poison from being exposed to pets or minors.
