Tree Removal

Tree removal is a specialised service that involves the safe and controlled dismantling of trees that are dead, dangerous, diseased, or no longer suitable for their location. At Chichester Tree Solutions (CTS), we carry out tree removals with the utmost care, using industry-approved techniques to ensure safety for both property and people.

When Is Tree Removal Necessary?

Tree removal may be recommended in the following situations:

• The tree is dead, dying, or hazardous

• Structural damage or disease has made the tree unstable

• The tree is interfering with property, power lines, or infrastructure

• Roots are causing subsidence or damaging foundations

• The tree is obstructing light, views, or planned construction work

Types of Tree Removal

There are several methods of tree removal, and the right one depends on the size, location, and surrounding environment:

• Straight Felling: Suitable for open areas where the tree can be safely felled in one go.

• Sectional Dismantling: The most common method, especially in tight or urban spaces. The tree is taken down in sections, using rigging and lowering techniques to avoid damage.

• Crane-Assisted Removal: For very large or inaccessible trees, cranes can be used to lift and remove sections safely.

• Aerial Platform Removal: When climbing isn’t viable, MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms) may be used for safe access.

Our Process

At CTS, we follow a thorough and professional process from start to finish:

1. Initial Assessment
   We offer a free site visit to assess the condition of the tree and any surrounding risks. We’ll provide expert advice and determine the most appropriate removal method.

2. Quotations & Permissions
   You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote. If the tree is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or located in a Conservation Area, we can assist with applications to the local authority.

3. Planning & Preparation
   Our team conducts a full risk assessment and prepares the site, ensuring the safety of people, buildings, and other trees. We notify neighbours if needed.

4. Removal Works
   Using modern equipment and highly skilled arborists, we carry out the removal with precision and care. All waste is chipped, removed, or recycled.

5. Site Clearance & Stump Grinding (Optional)
   We leave your site tidy and hazard-free. If required, we can remove the stump entirely using specialist grinding equipment.
