Rotherham is a major South Yorkshire town just east of Sheffield, and we cover the whole borough - from the town centre outwards to the semi-rural and suburban areas that surround it. The borough covers a wide range of residential and rural character, with established Victorian and inter-war housing areas through to newer residential estates and properties on the rural fringes.
We work regularly across the Rotherham suburbs, including Wickersley, Maltby, Wentworth, Brinsworth and Rawmarsh. Each area has its own character and tree stock - from the older established trees in the Victorian areas of Rotherham town to the younger gardens on modern estates in Wickersley and Brinsworth.
All work is carried out by NPTC qualified tree surgeons with full public liability insurance. We provide a free written quote before any work starts, with no call-out charge. We are honest about what your tree actually needs - not just what generates the largest invoice.

Areas We Cover in Rotherham
We cover the full Rotherham borough, including the key suburban areas of Wickersley, Maltby, Wentworth, Brinsworth and Rawmarsh. The area east of Rotherham towards Maltby has a mix of older residential streets and more recent development, with established gardens on the older plots and younger tree stock on the newer estates. Wickersley, to the south-east of the town, has a more suburban feel with well-established residential streets and good access throughout.
Wentworth is a notable outlier - a historic village with significant mature tree stock, including many specimen trees on the Wentworth Woodhouse estate and in the wider village area. Properties near the village core may be subject to Conservation Area restrictions or TPOs, and we always check this before any work starts in these areas.
Tree Removal in Rotherham
Tree removal across Rotherham covers a wide range of situations - from estate garden conifers that have outgrown their setting to large, mature trees in older residential properties that have become a structural concern. We assess each situation individually and give you a firm written price based on what we find on site. All timber and arisings are removed from site on the day of completion.
Where trees are subject to TPOs or fall within a Conservation Area, we will identify this during the quote visit and advise you on the process for obtaining the necessary consent from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council before work proceeds.
Crown Reduction, Stump Grinding and Hedge Trimming in Rotherham
Crown reduction is a common requirement in Rotherham's older residential areas, where Victorian and inter-war properties often have mature trees that need periodic management. We carry out reductions to British Standard BS 3998 on all tree species. Stump grinding is available after removal and is strongly recommended to prevent regrowth and clear the ground for landscaping. For boundary hedges throughout the borough - privet, beech, laurel and conifer are all common - we provide trimming on a one-off or regular basis.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council maintains a register of Tree Preservation Orders, which can be searched via their planning portal. You can also contact their planning department directly. We check TPO status as part of every quote visit in Rotherham and will confirm the position for your tree before any work starts. Working on a TPO tree without consent is a criminal offence, so it is important to verify this before any work proceeds.
Yes - we can assess the tree and carry out appropriate work, whether crown reduction to reduce water demand or removal if necessary. Where subsidence is suspected, we would recommend contacting your buildings insurer first, as they may want a structural engineer to assess the situation before tree work proceeds. The insurer may then instruct us directly or give you a quote authority to appoint a contractor.
Crown reduction involves cutting back the ends of the branches to reduce the overall size of the canopy, retaining the natural shape of the tree. Pollarding is a more drastic technique that removes most of the canopy, leaving a framework of main branches from which new growth regrows. Pollarding is typically only appropriate for species that respond well to it - lime, willow and London plane are common examples. We will advise on the most appropriate technique for your specific tree during the quote visit.
You have the legal right to cut back branches and roots that encroach on your property up to the boundary line, regardless of whether the tree is subject to a TPO. You cannot cut beyond the boundary. Any cuttings remain the legal property of the tree owner and should be offered back to them. It is always advisable to speak to your neighbour first and, where possible, reach a mutual agreement on how the tree should be managed. We can carry out this work from your side of the boundary safely and to a good standard.
