Tree surgeons in Essex: Homeowners vs renters
Homeowners
If you own your home, you’re responsible for tree maintenance. But before you cut anything, check:
- Is the tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
 - Is it in a conservation area?
 - Is there a landscaping clause on your property deeds?
 
If any apply, you’ll need permission from your local council. Cutting down a protected tree without approval can lead to hefty fines.
Renters
Tree overhanging your fence? Spotting rot or a risky branch? Start with your landlord or letting agent. They’re responsible for safety and upkeep. In flats or shared spaces, speak to the building manager or housing association.
Emergency tree surgeon in Essex
