What Counts as a Tree Emergency?
Not every tree problem is an emergency, but the following situations typically warrant urgent attention:
- A tree or large branch has fallen onto a building, vehicle, road or path and is causing an immediate hazard
- A large branch is hanging partially detached and poses an imminent risk of falling
- A tree has been significantly damaged by storm or wind and is now structurally unstable
- A tree or branch is blocking access to a property, road or driveway
- Root failure or leaning has created an urgent risk to people or structures
- Storm damage has exposed the tree's root plate, compromising its stability
How We Respond
When you call us with an emergency, our first priority is to understand the situation and assess whether anyone is in immediate danger. We will give you advice over the phone on how to keep yourself and others safe while we travel to you.
On arrival, we carry out a rapid site assessment to establish the safest approach. Our immediate goal is to make the site safe - securing or removing the immediate hazard. Depending on the situation, this may mean:
- Removing a fallen tree or branch from a vehicle, roof or access route
- Safely bringing down a hanging or partially failed limb
- Sectionally dismantling an unstable tree to remove the risk
- Making the area safe and establishing exclusion zones while a full assessment is carried out
Full clearance and remedial work can often be completed in the same visit, or scheduled for immediate follow-up if the scope of work is larger.
Insurance Company Reports
If storm damage to a tree has affected your property, your home insurance may cover some or all of the removal and clearance costs. We can provide a written report and photographic evidence of the damage to support an insurance claim. Speak to us when you call and we will make sure you have everything you need for your insurer.
Storm Season Preparation
The best way to reduce the risk of emergency situations is to have your trees assessed before the storm season arrives. Late summer and autumn are ideal times to check for structural defects, dead wood and potential failure points. We can carry out a pre-storm inspection and recommend any preventive work that would reduce the risk - often at a fraction of the cost of emergency call-out work.
What to Do If a Tree Falls on Your Property
If a tree falls on your home or car, follow these steps while you wait for us to arrive:
- Keep everyone clear of the tree and the affected area - do not attempt to move it yourself
- If the tree has come through the roof, do not enter the room below until the structure has been checked
- If there is any risk to power lines or cables, call your electricity network operator immediately
- Photograph the damage as thoroughly as possible for insurance purposes
- Contact your home insurer to notify them and ask about emergency cover
- Call us on 0114 489 5482 - we will get to you as quickly as we can
Emergency Call Out Questions
A tree emergency is any situation where a tree or part of a tree is causing an immediate risk to people, property or access. This includes a tree that has fallen onto a building or vehicle, a large branch hanging partially detached above a path or car, a tree that has become structurally unstable after storm damage, or a tree blocking a road or driveway. If you are unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, call us on 0114 489 5482 and we will help you assess it.
Response times depend on our current workload and location. For genuine emergencies with an immediate risk to safety, we prioritise attendance as quickly as possible. During and after major storm events, demand can be high and we will always be honest with you about expected arrival times. For situations that are urgent but not immediately life-threatening - such as a fallen tree blocking a garden gate - we aim to attend the same day or the following morning. Call us on 0114 489 5482 to discuss your specific situation.
Many home insurance policies include cover for storm damage to trees where the tree has fallen and caused damage to a structure such as your house, fence or garage. Cover for simple clearance of a fallen tree that has not caused structural damage is less commonly included - check your policy documents or call your insurer. We can provide a written report and photographic evidence of storm damage to support your claim. Always contact your insurer as soon as possible after the event.
Stay well clear of the tree and the area around it - do not try to move it or pull it off yourself. If the tree is touching or near any power lines or cables, keep your distance and call your electricity network operator (in South Yorkshire this is Northern Powergrid). If a tree has come through your roof, do not enter the affected room. Photograph the damage thoroughly for your insurance claim. Contact your home insurer to notify them. Then call us on 0114 489 5482 - we will attend as quickly as we can to make the site safe and start the clearance process.
Yes. We are available for emergency call-outs 7 days a week. Weekend and bank holiday call-outs may be subject to an out-of-hours rate, which we will always make clear before confirming attendance. For non-emergency work, we operate Mon-Fri 8am-5pm and can schedule weekend visits by prior arrangement. Call 0114 489 5482 at any time for emergency assistance.
