Our Recent Tree Work

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 filled in the appropriate paperwork and waited for the 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

Oak processionary moth (OPM) is a particularly invasive pest that can harm oak trees causing particular irritation to people due to its toxic hairs. Experienced specialists should always handle suspected nests. Our tree surgeons deliver a committed OPM removal service, using high-quality protective equipment and secure methods to abolish nests, caterpillars, and diseased material, protecting your trees, family, customers, and pets.

In line with current regulations for handling OPM in England, we can survey your oak trees, approve the presence of OPM, and carry out skilled removal and treatment to reduce any health threats and inhibit further spread in the area. If you have noticed unusual caterpillars or webbed nests on your oaks, get in touch with our team. Evade touching the tree, nests, or caterpillars, and keep children away.

Local Regulations & Permissions

Sometimes, tree work needs permission before work can start. Regulations are in place to protect certain trees and local environments, and failing to obey can result in consequences.

Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs)

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

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 normally need to give the council six weeks’ notice before carrying out work.

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 vary 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 direct you through the precise process before any work commences.

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.
