Having a tree that is too big or not looking healthy in your garden can be a real worry. You might be wondering, "Which companies in Leicester can I really trust to take care of this?" and "What will the tree removal cost?" These are great questions, and here at Leicester Tree Services, we want to help you understand everything. Choosing the right company is just as important as the job itself. We will explain what makes a company a good one to hire and what things can make the price go up or down.
A good company is one that does things the right way, from the very beginning. We always suggest looking for a few key signs of a good, reliable business.
First, look for professional qualifications. Our workers are not just people with chainsaws. They are "tree surgeons" who have special training and certificates. You should always ask if a company's team is qualified, with certificates from places like the National Proficiency Tests Council (NPTC). This training is important because it shows they know how to use all the equipment safely. It also proves they have the skills to climb high into trees and do difficult work without putting anyone in danger. When you see a company with these qualifications, it tells you they are serious about their work and about your safety.
Next, insurance is a must-have. We at Leicester Tree Services are fully insured, and you should make sure any company you hire is too. If a branch falls and breaks a window or if there's any other accident, the insurance will cover the cost. It gives you peace of mind knowing that you are protected. A trustworthy company will be happy to show you proof of their insurance. If a company doesn't have insurance or tries to say they don't need it, you should not use them. It's a risk you don't want to take.
Another good way to find a trusted company is to check their reputation. What do other people in Leicester say about them? You can look at reviews online on websites like Google, Yell, or Checkatrade. Pay attention to what customers mention. Do they say the team was friendly and polite? Did they clean up all the mess? Was the price they were given at the start the same as the price they paid at the end? Good reviews are a strong sign that a company is reliable and does a good job. You can also ask friends or family who have had tree work done if they can recommend someone. A recommendation from a person you know is often the best kind.
Finally, a company that is honest and clear with you is one you can rely on. When we give you a price, we will always come to your property first to see the tree. This is the only way to give you a fair and accurate price. We will then give you a clear quote that shows you exactly what you are paying for. It will list the labour, the equipment, and what will happen to the wood and branches. This is called a "transparent quote." You should be wary of any company that tries to give you a price over the phone without seeing the tree. They might not be able to do the job for the price they say, which can lead to problems later on.
The price of removing a tree is not the same for every job. It changes a lot depending on many things. Here are the main things that influence the cost:
The size and type of the tree are the biggest factors. A small, young tree that is only a few meters tall will cost much less to remove than a huge, old tree that reaches high above your roof. A very big tree needs more time to cut down. It requires a larger team of people and more equipment, and it creates a lot more wood and waste that needs to be taken away. The type of tree also plays a part. Some trees are easier to work with than others, and this can affect the time and effort needed.
The location of the tree is another huge part of the cost. If the tree is in a big, open field, the team can just cut it down so it falls safely to the ground. This is the simplest and cheapest method. However, if the tree is in a small garden and is close to your house, your neighbour's shed, or a fence, the job becomes much harder and more expensive. In this situation, the tree can't just be dropped. Our team has to climb the tree and cut it down in small, careful pieces, lowering each piece to the ground with ropes. This takes more time, more skill, and is more difficult, which adds to the price. Also, if there is no easy way to get a big machine, like a wood chipper, into your garden, our team will have to carry everything out by hand, which also takes more time and effort.
The health of the tree also matters. A healthy, strong tree is easier and safer to work with. But if a tree is dead or sick, its wood can be weak and unpredictable. Branches might break without warning, which is very dangerous for the workers. Dealing with a dangerous tree requires extra care and special techniques, which can increase the cost. If a tree has fallen because of a storm and is blocking a road or a driveway, it might need to be removed in an emergency. These emergency jobs are often more expensive because we have to come right away and it can be a high-risk situation.
What you want to happen to the waste is another thing that changes the price. When a tree is removed, you will have a lot of wood and branches left over. Most of the time, the quote we give you includes taking all of this away and chipping it. This is a big part of the job. But if you want to keep the wood for your fireplace or the wood chips for your garden, you should tell us. This might make the price a little lower, but you need to be prepared to deal with all the mess. Another thing that is often a separate cost is stump grinding. When a tree is cut down, the stump is left in the ground. If you want it removed, we use a special machine to grind it away. This is a separate service and it's important to ask if it's included in your quote.
Finally, some trees have legal protection from the local council. They might have a Tree Preservation Order, or TPO, or they might be in a conservation area. If your tree has this kind of protection, you must get permission from the council before you can do any work on it. A good company will know about these rules and can help you with the paperwork. This can add a small amount of cost, but it's very important to do it. If you cut down a protected tree without permission, you could get a very big fine. We will make sure that everything is done by the book so you don't have to worry.
