No room to fell it whole? A climber removes the tree in controlled sections, lowering each piece on ropes past your house, fences, greenhouse and cables. The safe way to remove a tree in a tight spot.
We only work with tree surgeons holding the proper chainsaw and climbing tickets. Certificates on request.
Fully insured for work near homes, fences and power lines. Your property is covered.
All arisings chipped and removed legally, with a waste transfer note. No mess left behind.
The tree surgeons we work with check Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area status before quoting, and handle the council application for you.
Sectional dismantling
Most trees in York gardens can't simply be dropped — there's a house, a conservatory, a fence or a power line in the way. Sectional dismantling (or sectional felling) is the answer: a qualified climber works up the tree and removes it in pieces, rigging and lowering each section under control so nothing lands where it shouldn't.
It's the most skilled work a tree surgeon does, and the reason a tree tight to a building costs more than the same tree in open ground — expect roughly 50–75% more than a straightforward fell. For a large tree close to a house, that usually means £1,200 or more, depending on size, access and what's underneath.
Everything is covered by £5m public liability insurance, the site is protected as we work, and all the arisings are chipped and removed. We check the TPO position before we quote.
Sectional dismantling in York — qualified, insured, and tidy.
Yes — sectional dismantling is designed exactly for this. The climber removes the tree in small, controlled sections roped down to the ground rather than felling it whole, so there's no uncontrolled drop near your property. It's fully insured.
Because it's slower, more technical and higher-risk — climbing, rigging and lowering each section by rope takes far longer than dropping a tree in open ground. The price reflects the skill and time involved.
Most domestic tree jobs in York land between £150 and £1,500, depending on the tree's size, access and the volume of waste. A typical day with a full team is around £350–£500. Every quote is free and itemised.
Possibly — if the tree has a TPO, or sits in a conservation area with a trunk over 75mm across. York has a lot of conservation area. We check before we quote and handle the council application for you.
