Our Recent Tree Work in Romford

Crown Reduction – Gidea Park

We recently completed a crown reduction for a homeowner in Gidea Park whose mature tree was blocking light and overhanging neighbouring properties. The house was situated within a Conservation Area, so we completed the required paperwork and waited for approval. The work was conducted safely, preserving the tree’s structure and appearance, and in compliance with the law.

Emergency Tree Removal – Near Romford Town Hall

Following high winds, we carried out an urgent removal of a storm-damaged tree that posed a risk to a driveway and a public footpath. The tree was removed safely, and all debris was cleared the same day.

Rated 5 Stars Across Essex

“Highly recommend Kings Cuts Tree Services, the guys did an excellent, first-class job trimming and topping my large conifer hedge. Left the garden very tidy on completion. Best job we’ve ever had. Will definitely be using again. Thank you, Jason and the team.”

“Brilliant service over the years. We use Paul twice a year to keep our conifers in check, but he has also done amazing work across the garden, incl. removing a large ivy from a tree. Everything is always spotless - I cannot recommend them enough!”

OPM (Oak Processionary Moth) Removal

The oak processionary moth (OPM) is a pest that harms oak trees and can irritate people with its toxic hairs. Specialists should always handle OPM nests in Romford and the wider Essex area. Our expert tree surgeons offer a dedicated OPM removal service, using specialist protective equipment and safe methods to eliminate nests, caterpillars, and contaminated material, protecting your trees, family, customers, and pets.

Working in line with current guidance for managing OPM in the UK, we can examine your oak trees, confirm the presence of OPM, and complete targeted removal and treatment to minimise any health risks and reduce the risk of further local spread. If you have noticed unusual caterpillars or webbed nests on your oaks, get in touch with our team as soon as possible. Avoid touching the tree, nests, or caterpillars, and keep children and pets away.

Local Regulations & Permissions

Sometimes, tree services require permission before work can commence. Regulations are in place to protect specific trees and local environments, and failure to comply can result in penalties.

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)

Trees protected by a TPO cannot be cut, pruned or removed without council consent.

  • Private gardens
  • Commercial properties
  • Landlords and managed properties
Unauthorised work on a covered tree is a criminal offence and can lead to weighty fines. Applications should be presented to the local council with full details of the proposed work.

Conservation Areas

If your property is within a conservation area, you probably need to give the council six weeks’ notice before carrying out work on most trees.

  • Assess the tree’s importance
  • Decide whether further protection (such as a TPO) is needed
If no objection is raised within the six-week period, work can typically proceed.

Protected Trees and Size Limits

Some trees are protected based on species and size. Requirements can differ depending on location.

  • Nesting birds (protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act)
  • Bat habitats (strictly protected in the UK)
  • Trees contributing to local biodiversity
Because regulations can vary across Essex and Greater London boroughs, it’s crucial to get correct, location-specific information before starting any tree work.

How We Help

We can check whether your property or tree is affected and explain the precise process to you before any work starts.

  • Checking if your tree is subject to a TPO
  • Confirming if your property is within a conservation area
  • Handling council applications and notices
  • Advising on the best course of action for your tree
Our goal is to make the process simple and stress-free while ensuring full compliance with local regulations.
