Your local tree surgeons

Sanderstead sits high on the Croydon downs, a CR2 village with Sanderstead Plantation and Purley Downs on its doorstep. Purley sits west and southwest; Selsdon is the eastern neighbour; Warlingham is a short run south. All Saints' and Limpsfield Road are the village landmarks people give us. It is a landscape of mature oaks, beeches and pines, flowering cherries, and the leylandii and laurel screens that have had decades to get away from the houses they were planted for.

We come up the A22 and A23 from our Horley base most weeks, so quote visits are easy to fit in and jobs get booked quickly. We are a family firm, established in 2018, and a lot of our work out here comes from one neighbour passing our number to the next.

What we do

From a single limb to a whole plot cleared, one team and one number. Tap a service for the detail.

Protected trees: Sanderstead falls under the London Borough of Croydon, not Reigate & Banstead, and a good number of the mature garden and roadside trees here are covered by Tree Preservation Orders. Parts of the village sit in conservation areas, where you still need to give six weeks' notice before working on trees. We check the status of your tree before any work and handle the application with Croydon for you. If you want to check first, you can read the rules on Croydon's tree preservation orders page.

The trees round here

This is high downs country on the Croydon side, so the tree stock is a mix: oaks, beeches and pines around Sanderstead Plantation and Purley Downs, flowering cherries on the village roads, and leylandii or laurel screens that have had decades to get away.

The work here is a mix to match: crown reductions on trees that have grown over a roof or blocked the light, sectional removals where gardens are tight against the house, pollarding where a tree needs keeping in check, and boundary hedges brought back within the green. Steep downs gardens mean we bring ground boards and the tracked lift when a lawn or a slope cannot take a truck.

FAQ

The things people around Sanderstead, Purley and the Croydon downs ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.

How much does a crown reduction cost in Sanderstead?

It depends on the size and species of the tree and how much you want taken off, so we price each crown reduction in Sanderstead on site rather than guess. Reductions are skilled, repeat work, and because we climb and rig wherever we can rather than hire in access, our quotes stay keen. Quotes are free and without obligation.

Do I need permission for tree work in Sanderstead?

Sometimes. Sanderstead sits in the London Borough of Croydon, not Reigate & Banstead, and many of the mature garden and roadside trees here carry Tree Preservation Orders. Conservation areas need six weeks' notice before work. We check the tree's status before quoting and handle the application with Croydon for you, so nothing is cut without the right consent.

Which parts of Sanderstead do you cover?

The village around All Saints' and Limpsfield Road, Sanderstead Plantation and Purley Downs, and the edges toward Purley, Selsdon, South Croydon and Warlingham. Purley has its own page; Selsdon is covered from this Sanderstead page.

Do you cover Purley and Selsdon as well?

Yes. Purley sits west and southwest of Sanderstead and has its own page: see the Purley page. Selsdon is the eastern neighbour, and we cover that edge from this Sanderstead page. If you are firmly in Purley, use the Purley page; the shared downs edges are covered from both.

How much does hedge cutting cost in Sanderstead?

It depends on the length, height and how overgrown the hedge is, so we price hedge cutting in Sanderstead on site rather than guess. A regular trim is one job; bringing a neglected leylandii or laurel screen back within the green is another. Quotes are free and without obligation.

How quickly can you get to us?

We come up the A22 and A23 from our Horley base most weeks, so quote visits are usually within a day or two, most jobs are booked in within a couple of weeks depending on the season, and a dangerous or storm-damaged tree gets a same-day response. Call 07519 952330 at any hour.

How much does tree surgery cost?

It depends on the size of the tree or hedge, how easy it is to reach and how much waste there is to clear, so we price each job properly rather than guess. We come and look rather than quote blind. Quotes are free and without obligation.

Can you work on steep gardens?

Yes. A lot of Sanderstead work is downs gardens that fall away from the house. Everything is rigged and lowered in sections rather than dropped, we use the tracked lift where a climb is not the safe option, and we protect the ground on the way in and out.

Do you take all the waste away?

Always, and it is included in the quote. Brash is chipped, timber is cut into logs and the garden is cleared before we leave. Plenty of people keep the logs for the wood burner; just say so and we will stack them where you want them.

Do you do emergency callouts?

Yes, 24 hours a day. A limb down over a drive or a tree leaning towards the house cannot wait. Call 07519 952330 and we will make it safe first, then sort the full removal or repair once the immediate danger is dealt with.

Our specialist services

The jobs we do most weeks in Sanderstead and on the Croydon downs: careful crown reductions on mature garden trees, safe felling when a conifer or garden tree has to come down, and hedges reshaped and brought back within the green.

On the bigger downs gardens around All Saints' and Limpsfield Road we take height and weight out so light gets back in, without spoiling the tree's shape. Priced on site, not guessed.

Tall conifer taken down in sections on the Purley side of the downs Tree felling & removal

Tall conifers and garden trees that have grown too close to the house come down in sections with proper rigging, waste cleared as we go. The Purley-side conifer in the photos is typical of the work.
