Qualifications & Credentials
All certificates and documentation are available on request and are provided with written quotes as standard.
NPTC / Lantra Awards
City & Guilds Level 3 in ArboricultureAll our arborists hold NPTC (National Proficiency Tests Council) qualifications, administered by Lantra Awards — the industry-standard qualification for professional tree surgeons in the UK. This covers chainsaw use, aerial rigging, and all aspects of arboricultural work.
Why it matters: Required for all professional tree surgery work in the UK. Demonstrates competence and safety training to the industry standard.
BS 3998:2010
British Standard for Tree WorkAll pruning, crown reduction, and tree surgery work is carried out to British Standard BS 3998:2010 — the definitive guide to tree work in the UK. This standard covers all aspects of arboricultural practice, from assessment through to aftercare.
Why it matters: The benchmark standard for tree work in the UK. Compliance is required by most local authorities and is referenced in planning conditions.
BS 5837:2012
Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and ConstructionWe carry out BS 5837 tree surveys for planning applications, development projects, and mortgage valuations. These surveys assess the condition, category, and retention value of trees on or adjacent to development sites.
Why it matters: Required by local planning authorities for most development applications where trees are present. Accepted by mortgage lenders and surveyors.
Public Liability Insurance
£5 Million CoverWe carry £5 million public liability insurance on all work — tree surgery, landscaping, driveways, and all other services. Certificates are available on request and are provided as standard with all written quotes.
Why it matters: Protects you as the homeowner or property owner if anything goes wrong. Always ask to see insurance certificates before any contractor starts work.
Property Care Association
Japanese Knotweed ManagementOur Japanese knotweed management plans are produced to the standards required by the Property Care Association (PCA) — the body whose guidelines are accepted by mortgage lenders and conveyancers for property transactions.
Why it matters: PCA-compliant management plans are required by most mortgage lenders before they will lend on properties affected by Japanese knotweed.
Waste Carrier Licence
Environment Agency RegisteredWe are registered with the Environment Agency as a licensed waste carrier. All green waste, soil, concrete, and other materials removed from your property are disposed of legally and responsibly at licensed facilities.
Why it matters: It is illegal to transport or dispose of waste without a licence. Always ask to see a waste carrier licence before a contractor removes waste from your property.
Why Credentials Matter
Hiring an unqualified or uninsured contractor can leave you exposed. Here's what to look for — and why we meet every standard.
Qualified, Not Just Experienced
Experience matters, but qualifications prove competence. Our arborists hold formal qualifications — not just years on the job.
Insured for Your Protection
If an uninsured contractor damages your property or injures someone, you could be liable. Our £5m cover protects you.
Legal Waste Disposal
Fly-tipping is a criminal offence. Our waste carrier licence means your waste is disposed of legally — protecting you from liability.
Transparent Documentation
We provide written quotes, insurance certificates, and waste transfer notes as standard. No hidden surprises.
