Whats Included
What our tree surgery service covers.
Tree surgery is specialist work that requires proper qualifications, the right equipment and full public liability insurance. An unqualified person cutting a large tree risks serious injury to themselves and significant damage to neighbouring property — and an uninsured operator leaves the homeowner exposed if something goes wrong.

-
Crown reduction — reducing the overall size of the canopy
-
Crown lifting — removing lower branches to increase light and clearance
-
Crown thinning — removing branches from within the canopy to improve light and airflow
-
Deadwooding — removing dead, dying or dangerous branches
-
Tree felling — complete removal of trees up to any size
-
Stump grinding — full stump removal to below ground level
-
Sectional dismantling — controlled section-by-section removal in confined spaces
-
Emergency tree work — storm damage and dangerous trees

Hedge and shrub removal
-
Full chipping and timber removal on completion
Tree Surgery Services
What does each tree surgery service actually involve?
Tree surgery covers a wide range of works depending on what the tree needs. Here's a plain-English guide to the most common tree surgery services we carry out across Bexleyheath and Kent.
Crown Reduction
Reducing the overall height and spread of the tree canopy while maintaining the tree's natural shape. Used when a tree has outgrown its position, is causing shade or light issues, or has become too large for the site. All cuts are made to recognised pruning points to promote healthy re-growth and maintain the long-term health of the tree.
Crown Lifting
Removing the lower branches of a tree to increase clearance beneath the canopy — for driveways, footpaths, buildings or to allow more light to reach the ground. A common requirement for trees adjacent to properties across Bexleyheath and Kent where lower branches are causing obstruction or damage.
Tree Felling
Complete removal of a tree — either as a single fell where space permits, or by sectional dismantling in confined spaces where a controlled section-by-section removal is required. We fell trees of all sizes and remove all timber and brash from site. Stump grinding can be carried out at the same time or as a separate visit.
Stump Grinding
Removal of the stump remaining after a tree has been felled, using a stump grinder to reduce the stump to woodchip below ground level. Stump grinding is the only effective way to permanently remove a stump — leaving stumps in situ can lead to re-growth and provides a habitat for fungal disease that can spread to other trees and planting.
Emergency Tree Work
Storm-damaged trees, fallen trees and dangerous hanging branches require urgent attention. We respond to emergency call-outs across Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford and Kent for storm damage, partially fallen trees and any situation where a tree or branch poses an immediate risk to people or property. Call 07377 213002 for urgent response.
Not Sure What You Need?
Tree surgery requirements are often unclear until a qualified arborist has assessed the tree in person. We'll visit, assess the tree, explain exactly what work is required and why, and provide a fixed price quote before any work starts. There's no obligation to proceed.

Why RedEgg
Qualified arborists across Bexleyheath & Kent.
Tree surgery is one of the most heavily misrepresented trades in the UK. Anyone with a chainsaw can call themselves a tree surgeon — but working at height with power tools in close proximity to buildings, people and services is highly skilled, genuinely dangerous work that requires proper training, the right equipment and full insurance.
Every tree surgery job we carry out across Bexleyheath, Sidcup, Dartford and Kent is performed by qualified arborists — trained in the safe use of chainsaws at height, familiar with the specific requirements of different tree species, and carrying full public liability insurance. We don't cut corners on safety and we don't take on work that's beyond our team's capability.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about tree surgery in Bexleyheath.
How much does tree surgery cost in Bexleyheath?
Tree surgery costs in Bexleyheath and across Kent vary significantly depending on the size of the tree, the type of work required and the access available. As a rough guide, crown reduction on a medium-sized garden tree typically starts from £250–£500. Tree felling starts from £200 for smaller trees, rising to £1,000 or more for large trees in confined spaces. Stump grinding typically adds £100–£250 depending on the stump size. We visit for free and provide a full written quote with no obligation before any work starts.
Do I need planning permission to fell a tree in Bexleyheath?
Trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order cannot be felled or significantly pruned without prior consent from the London Borough of Bexley. Trees in conservation areas also require six weeks' notice to be given to the council before work starts. For trees not subject to any restrictions, no permission is required. We check the TPO register as part of every consultation and advise on the planning position before any work starts.
How long does tree surgery take?
The time required depends entirely on the size of the tree and the type of work. A crown reduction on a medium garden tree typically takes half a day. A full tree felling with stump grinding and complete site clearance on a large tree is usually a full day's work. Emergency work and storm damage clearance is prioritised and attended as quickly as possible. We'll give you a clear time estimate as part of the written quote.
Are your arborists qualified and insured?
Yes. All tree surgery work carried out by RedEgg Renovations is performed by qualified arborists holding relevant chainsaw and climbing qualifications. We carry full public liability insurance to £5 million on all tree surgery works. We'd strongly advise any homeowner to ask any tree surgeon they're considering to provide evidence of qualifications and insurance before work starts — and to walk away from any operator who can't or won't.
Can you remove a tree that's close to my house or a boundary?
Yes. Trees in confined spaces — close to buildings, fences or neighbouring properties — are removed by sectional dismantling: the tree is removed section by section from the top down, with each section carefully lowered to the ground using ropes. This method allows us to safely remove trees of any size in any position without risk to surrounding structures. We carry out sectional dismantling regularly across Bexleyheath and Kent.
