Before you request a quote
Make a short note of the work you need, your location, any access issues and the timescale you have in mind. Photos can also help a business understand the job before visiting. When you contact a tree surgeon, ask what is included, whether there are any likely extras and how long the work may take.
Useful checks for homeowners
- Compare more than one business where possible.
- Check reviews and examples of previous work where available.
- Ask about insurance, experience and relevant qualifications.
- Confirm the business covers your town, city or postcode.
- Get price, scope and timescale details in writing before work starts.
FAQs
Should I choose the cheapest tree surgery quote?
Not always. A cheaper quote may exclude materials, waste removal, access equipment or preparation. Compare what is included before deciding.
How many businesses should I contact?
For non-urgent work, contacting two or three suitable businesses can help you compare approach, communication and likely cost.
Can I use Trusted Trades Directory as my only check?
The directory is a starting point for comparison. Listed businesses are independent, so you should still carry out your own checks before hiring.
