Frequently Asked Questions

All common tree surgery and other related service questions are answered here

Q: What is a tree surgeon ?.
A: A tree surgeon is a person who holds professional certifications to perform tree cutting tasks. Any one can call themselves a tree surgeon but without certification it means nothing.
Q: Are you insured ?.
A: Yes we are, We have £10 million public liability insurance and £10 million employers liability insurance. A customer must make sure any tree surgeon they employ has qualifications for the task being done to go with the correct tree surgery insurance. An insurance company can and will refuse to pay out for a claim made against an unqualified tree surgeon. This would mean should a customer employ an unqualified tree surgeon, even if they have their own insurance and something went wrong, the customer could be liable for the cost and damages. Our insurance is readily available on our site for customers to view 24/7/365.

Check first the quote includes the removal of all arisings aka leafs, branches, logs, bushes, etc.
Q: Do you charge for quotations ?.
A: Absolutely not, we provide free quotes not estimates  which means the price we quote is the price customers pay. We don’t ask for payment until the customer has inspected and approved the finished work.

Q: What are your payment terms ?.
A: We accept cheque, bank transfer and cash, with 5 working days payment from date of invoice. If customers require more flexible payment terms we are happy to accommodate it upon request.
Q: What is LOLER ?.
A: Loler stands for Lifting Operations And Lifting Equipment Regulations. It requires any equipment for instances tree surgeon harnesses, rigging ropes, lowering devices etc are inspected every 6 months for PPE (personnel protective equipment) and 12 months for rigging equipment. Its important you check your tree surgeon has in date loler records for your protection. If an accident occurs through equipment failure a tree surgeons insurance company will require proof the equipment was loler certified and in date to make sure they payout if any persons or property was damaged. At T.H Tree Services we have our equipment certified as required.
Q: How Much Does Tree Surgery Cost ?.
A:Tree surgery costs vary based on the size of a tree, for instance the larger a tree the more wood there is to remove thus increasing the cost. The further the tree is from the roadside the greater the cost as the time it will take to remove the tree increases. One of the biggest costs for any customer will be trees with buildings, sheds etc underneath as this will require specialist rigging equiptment combined with a highly qualified tree surgeon to carry out the task. What ever the situation T.H Tree Services offer some of the most competitive prices across Essex.
