Tree Survey & Inspection Reports for homeowners
A tree survey (also referred to as a tree risk survey, tree inspection report or a tree health report) is carried out with the aim of identifying any problems with:
- tree health - does the tree have signs of decay or disease?
- tree growth - eg is it growing near to your property and causing a risk?
- does it pose a threat to public safety
A tree inspection will check the current condition of the tree and identify any potential tree issues that might arise in the near future.
Our Tree Surveyor will provide a free no obligation quotation of the cost of compiling a tree survey.
We offer a comprehensive range of tree services, including the tree reports and BS5837 surveys mentioned below.

Protected trees in Conservation Areas
Do you have trees which are protected by law, either subject to a TPO (Tree Preservation Order) or within the boundary of a Conservation Area? You will need permission from your local authority if you are having any work done to a tree; without gaining permission can result in considerable penalties.
Anyone can apply for planning permission to have work carried out to their trees for free, directly with their local authority - however, many tree owners find the process daunting and sometimes protracted due to some of the technical issues some tree work can bring up. We take the frustration and the hassle out of the process with our TPO application service and necessary confirmation checks.
If you are concerned about the safety of the tree due to its condition being affected by disease, fungi or insects/pests or its structural safety, our arboricultural professionals can support your application by means of a Tree Survey or Tree Health Report.
Our consultants will submit the application and technical explanation to the local authority with the aim of acquiring consent in the shortest time.
It’s important to note that if you are planning a construction project, the local authority may insist on a tree report to support your planning application if there is possibility your proposed development may impact nearby trees or vegetation – please see our Consultancy Tree Reports & Surveys section for more details details.
