Tree work in Redditch
Redditch grew fast as a new town from the 1960s, and the trees planted along its estates, roads and green corridors back then are now fully grown. Many back gardens border landscaped verges, woodland strips or the Arrow Valley, so overhanging branches, roots near paths and shading are common problems. Redditch Borough Council handles Tree Preservation Orders. The firms below work across B97 and B98.
- A lot of the trees on verges and green spaces between estates belong to the council or a housing provider. Find out who owns a tree before paying to have it cut.
- You can usually cut overhanging branches back to your boundary, unless the tree has a TPO or is in a conservation area. The branches still belong to the tree's owner, so offer them back.
- Trees planted close to houses in the 1960s and 70s often need crown reduction or removal now they've reached full size.
Protected trees in Redditch
Tree Preservation Orders and conservation-area notices in Redditch are handled by Redditch Borough Council. Check before any felling or major pruning. A good tree surgeon will check for you, but the legal responsibility sits with the owner. Trees beside public roads are the responsibility of Worcestershire County Council as highway authority. Our guide to TPOs and conservation areas explains how applications work.
Postcodes covered on this page: B97, B98.
Questions about tree surgeons in Redditch
How many tree surgeons cover Redditch?
8 tree surgery firms cover Redditch in our directory. 4 of them advertise 24-hour emergency callouts. Each listing shows the services the firm offers and a direct phone number.
Which tree surgeons in Redditch offer 24/7 emergency callouts?
CJ Tree Surgeons Ltd, R A Cure Contractors, Reeves Tree Surgeons Ltd and Robinson Tree Surgery Ltd advertise 24-hour emergency callouts on their own website. Confirm they can come out when you call. If a tree is on a road or power line, call 999 or 105 first.
Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Redditch?
Usually only if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order, stands in a conservation area, or is covered by a planning condition. In Redditch these are handled by Redditch Borough Council. A TPO tree needs consent, and a conservation area tree needs six weeks' written notice. Nesting birds and bats are also protected by law.
Who looks after the trees on Redditch's green spaces and verges?
Many trees on verges, green corridors and open space between Redditch estates belong to the borough council, the county council (highway verges), a housing provider or a management company rather than to residents. Find out who owns a tree before paying to have it cut.
How to choose a tree surgeon
- Insurance: ask to see a public liability certificate (the Arboricultural Association recommends at least £5m), and employers' liability, which is a legal requirement if they have staff.
- Qualifications: chainsaw and climbing work should be done by people holding NPTC (City & Guilds) or Lantra certificates. Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor status is a stronger check.
- A written quote: it should say exactly what will be cut, whether the stump is ground out, and whether waste and logs are taken away.
- Standards: ask whether the work will follow BS 3998, the British Standard for tree work.
- Protected trees: a good firm will check for a TPO or conservation area and can make the application. See our TPO guide.
