Your local tree surgeons

Much of Thornton Heath is terraced streets with short, narrow back gardens, where a self-seeded sycamore or a conifer soon fills the space. Pruning and removals are the main jobs, plus hedge cutting, ivy and bramble clearance, stump grinding and storm callouts. Our patch runs from Thornton Road and Bensham Manor Road up to Parchmore Road. Michael finds out whether an order or conservation area applies, and owners apply themselves.

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: Thornton Heath is in the London Borough of Croydon. Under a Tree Preservation Order, a tree can't be cut without Croydon Council's written consent, and for a tree in a conservation area the council must get six weeks' written notice. Michael checks whether your tree has an order or sits in a conservation area as part of the quote and lets you know if consent or notice is needed. You make any application yourself.

The trees round here

Thornton Heath Recreation Ground has a line of poplars on one side and a copse of big London planes, a Norway maple and a horse chestnut. All of those grow fast and wide, so when one comes up in a back garden, or leans over it from next door, it soon needs cutting back.

Up on the Grange Road side, Grangewood Park is almost all oak. In the terraced streets it is more often a sycamore or ash that has seeded by the back fence, a conifer hedge that has gone too tall, or ivy pulling at a wall. We take those back or out, and grind the stump so the ground can be used again.

FAQ

The things people around Thornton Heath ask us most, answered straight. Anything else, just ask.

How much does tree pruning cost in Thornton Heath?

It comes down to the size of the tree, how much is coming off and how we get the branches out. In a terrace with no side way, all the cut wood has to come out through the house, and that takes longer. You get a written price after we've had a look, and a WhatsApp photo is enough for a rough figure.

Can you remove a tree from a terraced garden with no side access?

Yes. We take the tree down in short sections, cut the wood small enough to carry and take it all out the way we agree with you. Nothing is left in the garden unless you want to keep the logs.

Do I need permission for tree work in Thornton Heath?

It depends on the tree. A Tree Preservation Order means getting Croydon Council's consent first, and a conservation area means giving six weeks' notice. Before quoting we find out which applies, if either, and tell you where you stand. The application is yours to make, through the Planning Portal or on the council's paper form.

Will you cut back a neighbour's tree hanging over my garden?

Yes, back to the boundary line, as long as the tree isn't protected, and we check that first. The wood belongs to your neighbour, so it's worth asking whether they want it before we start.

Can you cut a tall conifer hedge back hard?

Yes, within limits. Leylandii and most other conifers won't grow back from bare brown wood, so we take the height down and trim the sides back to where there's still green. If it has gone too far for that, we'll tell you straight.

Which parts of Thornton Heath do you cover?

Thornton Heath itself, from Thornton Road and Bensham Manor Road across to Brigstock Road, Parchmore Road and Melfort Road. Croydon town centre, to the south, has its own page, as does Wallington further west.

Do you come out for storm-damaged trees in Thornton Heath?

Yes, day or night. Ring 07519 952330 when a tree or a big branch comes down on a roof, a car, a fence or the pavement. We make it safe straight off, then come back in daylight to clear the wood.
