Take Care! The Pitfalls of using Inexperienced, Unqualified/Under Qualified Tree Surgeons

Removing trees is one of the most dangerous jobs any tree surgeon undertakes. It takes many years to learn the safe and professional way of tree felling in Essex. Many have-a-go tree cutters lack the professional skills and qualifications to remove trees without injuring themselves or damaging property.

Since the recession it has been more tempting for cowboys who are unqualified and uninsured to offer a cheaper service in tree removal Essex wide.  T.H. Tree Services never cuts corners yet offers very competitive prices. Rest assured you are in the safest hands with fully insured tree surgeons providing several years’ professional experience in tree felling across Essex.

Take a look at what’s involved in tree removal in Essex:

What qualifications does a competent Essex tree surgeon need?

This is not a straightforward answer but here goes… in the eyes of UK law, a tree surgeon must be competent and hold proof (certificates) of such competence. The UK tree industry recognised certificates of competence are called City & Guilds N.P.T.C qualifications. All tree surgeons now train to this standard and insurance companies require us to honour our legal obligations as a tree surgeon working in the UK. That simply means any tree surgeon carrying out tree removal services must hold the correct N.P.T.C certificates to ensure their insurance company will pay out should something go wrong.

Should a customer be unlucky enough to employ an unqualified tree surgeon and something does go wrong, even if they show proof of insurance there is a huge chance the insurance company will state your tree surgeon did not act in accordance with UK law and therefore breached the contract with the insurance company. This could remove the insurance company from having to pay out for any accident caused by an unqualified/under qualified tree surgeon carrying out tree removals across Essex.

Of course an insurance company may sell insurance to unqualified/under qualified tree surgeons without even checking if they are qualified, Crazy we know ! It’s simple why they do: less risk of having to pay out.

Silver Birch Removal

The silver birch tree, known officially as Betula Pendula, is native to the UK. It can reach 30 metres in height and has a light canopy. The silver birch is a good tree to have as a neighbour if you are a plant, as its deep roots act as a channel for otherwise inaccessible nutrients.

Ash Tree Removal

Ash trees, scientifically known as Fraxinus Excelsior, are native to the UK. They can live to a ripe old age of 400 years, although this can be even longer if they are professionally coppiced. Often reaching heights of around 35 metres, the ash tree is known for being tall and elegant, and it is common for them to grow together so that a domed canopy forms. If you have an ash tree in Essex that needs removing, you can rely on the expertise of the tree surgeons at T.H. Tree Services to undertake the task professionally, safely and efficiently.

Cedar Tree Removal

Cedar trees are imposing evergreen conifers. They are native to the Lebanon, eastern parts of the Mediterranean and areas of Asia, but fairly common now in the UK. The Latin name is Cedrus Libani and the wood is a natural insect repellent. Cedar trees generally grow to around 35 metres and they are distinctive by the fact that they have several trunks.

Your tree surgeon shows some basic qualifications, but are they right for your specific job?

Here is a guide for employing a qualified Essex tree surgeon – remember there are numerous tree surgeons out there with only basic qualifications.

It is vital to understand the differences, and also to ask to see proof of the stated qualifications.
