Tree surgeons in West Midlands: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for tree maintenance. But before you cut anything, check:

1. Is the tree subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)?
2. Is it in a conservation area?
3. 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 West Midlands
