Is your tree protected?
If a tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or stands in a Conservation Area, the council has to agree to the work, or has to be told about it, before it starts. Adam will tell you if he thinks one applies. You then contact the council yourself.

Questions about storm damage
Will my home insurance pay for it?
Ask your insurer first. Many policies cover a fallen tree that has damaged the house, but every policy is different.
Should I cut a hanging branch myself?
No. Branches under tension can spring or drop without warning. Keep clear and send us photos.
What if the tree is protected?
Adam will tell you if he thinks a TPO or Conservation Area applies. If part of a protected tree is an immediate danger, the work needed to make it safe can be done straight away, but the council must be told in writing as soon as possible, so we take photos first. Anything beyond making it safe still needs the council’s agreement. You contact the council yourself.
