What Is Emergency Tree Work?
If you have never considered what might constitute emergency tree work before, below are some examples of the types of arboricultural issues you may encounter that normally require urgent action:
- Fire – If a tree on your property catches fire, you obviously need to deal with it immediately. In the first instance, you should call the emergency fire services of course. After that, you may need the services of a local tree surgeon, to determine whether the tree in question can be saved and, if it can, what needs to be done.
- Weather Damage – One of the most common reasons we are asked to perform emergency tree work is storm damage. Trees that are severely damaged by high winds can pose a danger to people or property in their immediate vicinity and need to be attended to as quickly as possible.
- Pests or Disease – If you notice a tree on your land that is in distress, either because of a pest infestation or disease, we recommend contacting a local tree surgeon without delay. The sooner your tree receives professional attention, the greater the chances it will make a full recovery.
- Intentional Damage by Vandals – Unfortunately, some trees are affected by vandalism. If this happens to a tree on your property, please don’t hesitate to call us immediately so we can provide you with a professional assessment and plan of action.

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.
