When Do You Need Emergency Tree Surgery?

Emergency tree work is required when a tree or branch poses an immediate risk to people, property or access. Common situations we respond to include:

• Storm damage — trees or large branches brought down by high winds, blocking roads, driveways or damaging roofs, fences and outbuildings
• Fallen trees — trees that have uprooted or snapped at the base and fallen onto property or across access routes
• Hanging branches — large dead or broken branches suspended in the canopy (known as widow makers) that could fall at any moment
• Leaning trees — trees that have developed a sudden or significant lean following storms or ground movement
• Root failure — trees showing signs of root plate lift or soil heave indicating imminent collapse
• Impact damage — trees struck by vehicles or damaged by adjacent construction work
• Trees on power lines — branches or whole trees in contact with overhead electricity cables requiring immediate attention

Storm Damage Tree Removal in Cumbria

Cumbria and the Lake District are regularly affected by severe storms, particularly through autumn and winter. The combination of exposed hillsides, ancient woodland and mature trees in residential areas means storm damage to trees is a regular occurrence across the region. Our team is experienced in rapid storm damage response, working safely in difficult conditions to clear fallen timber, make dangerous trees safe and restore access to properties and roads.

We work across Grange-over-Sands, Kendal, Windermere, Ulverston, Cartmel, Lancaster, Kirkby Lonsdale and all surrounding areas. We also work further afield for larger storm events where multiple sites require clearance.

Insurance Work & Tree Reports

If a fallen or damaged tree has caused damage to your property, your home insurance may cover the cost of removal. We can provide written reports and photographic evidence to support insurance claims, and are experienced in liaising with loss adjusters and insurance companies on behalf of our clients.

What to Do If a Tree Falls on Your Property

1. Stay safe — do not approach a fallen tree, particularly if it is near power lines or still under tension
2. Call us immediately on 07376804724 — we will assess the situation and advise you on next steps
3. Call 999 if a tree is blocking a public road or is in contact with power lines — this is a matter for the emergency services and the network operator as well as a tree surgeon
4. Contact your insurer if the tree has caused property damage — we can provide a report to support your claim
