Fully Qualified and Experienced Emergency Tree Surgeon
Every member of the Epic Tree Care team is a fully qualified tree surgeon with plenty of experience in the field of emergency operations.
Whatever your concerns, we invite you to contact us immediately if you think that you require urgent assistance.
We can provide you with an initial opinion over the phone and for truly urgent cases we will, of course, arrange for one of our experts to visit you without delay.
Reasons to Call an Emergency Tree Surgeon
There are a number of reasons you may need to call a tree surgeon for urgent assistance, including the following:
A Tree That Is Leaning Too Far
Many smaller trees may lean at a slight angle without being a cause for concern. However, larger and heavier specimens that end up leaning at wild angles after storm damage or some other trauma are a different matter altogether.
Broken or Damaged Branches
Storm damaged trees with broken branches that are in danger of falling onto people or property below should always be attended to straight away.
Overhanging Branches
If you notice branches overhanging your property or your neighbour’s property, or perhaps encroaching on local power lines, it is time to call an emergency tree surgeon.
Diseased or Sick Looking Specimens
If one or more trees on your land are showing signs of disease or general malaise, don’t delay: call an expert straight away.

EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Ed Stuart2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, professional and efficient from the start. A major problem for me was dealt with quickly and is now over. Lauriel Simpson2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a tall tree root lifted during the storm but not enough to topple it. Precarious and too awkward for us to deal with so called in Epic Tree Care. They responded quickly, were professional and communicative throughout and took great care of our property whilst safely felling the tree. Left it all neat and tidy. Cannot fault the service and friendliness. Would and will be recommending. Mizan Rahman2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
