Does your central London tree have a TPO, or are you living in a conservation area?
Many homeowners and businesses in London boroughs such as Westminster, Kensington, Camden and Islington are often unaware that their trees may be legally protected. If your property sits within a conservation area or the tree carries a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you’re not allowed to work on it without permission.
As long-established tree surgeons in London, we regularly work with local council planning departments. We’ll check whether your trees are protected and can complete the necessary paperwork on your behalf, including Section 211 notification forms for trees in conservation areas.
At London Tree Surgeons, we offer this valuable service at no extra cost, and our experienced arboricultural consultants have an impressive track record of securing permission for a wide range of London tree surgery projects.

FAQs About London Tree Surgery
How much does a tree surgeon cost in London?
The cost of a tree surgeon in London will vary, but expect to pay £30-£50/hour or £240-£400/day for labour. For detailed figures by service, see our London tree surgeon price guide.
How much does tree surgery cost in London?
The cost of tree surgery in London varies depending on the services required and the size of the project. However, for a team of three qualified tree surgeons in London, expect to pay between £900 and £1,500 per day.
Is it cheaper to cut or remove a tree?
It’s almost always cheaper to cut or prune a tree than to remove it. Tree removal involves more labour and equipment, and creates more waste that needs to be transported and disposed of. Think of “cutting” as trimming/pruning (cheaper) versus “removal” (felling the whole thing down to the ground and removing it), which is a bigger, costlier job.
What months can you not cut trees?
You should avoid cutting trees in the UK from the beginning of March to the end of August. This period covers the main bird nesting season, and disturbing active nests is illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Cutting trees in the spring and summer months can also increase the risk of disease, excessive sap bleeding, and harm to tree health.
Do I need permission to work on a tree in London?
Sometimes. If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), you need consent from the local council before any work. If it stands in a conservation area, you must give the council six weeks’ notice using a Section 211 notification. We check protection status and handle applications for our clients as standard; see our guide to TPOs and protected trees in London.
Do you provide emergency tree surgery in London?
Yes. Our emergency tree surgeons are available 24 hours a day for storm damage, fallen trees and dangerous limbs anywhere in London. Call 020 8123 0164 at any time.
