Emergency Tree Surgeon Surrey
A storm-damaged tree, fallen branch or sudden split in a trunk can leave you unsure what to do next. If you need an emergency tree surgeon in Surrey, contact HKL Services to discuss the situation and check our earliest availability.
Based in Weybridge, we provide tree surgery and removal across Surrey for homeowners and businesses. Tell us where the tree is, what has happened and whether it is affecting access or nearby buildings.
Urgent Tree Care Following Storm Damage
Strong winds can break branches, damage crowns and uproot trees.
Sometimes the damage is obvious; in other cases, a tree may remain standing with hanging branches or a noticeable change in its position.
If you are concerned, keep people and pets away from the area. Avoid walking beneath damaged branches or attempting to cut, climb or move an unstable tree yourself.
Contact us to discuss the damage and the work that may be needed. Photographs can help explain the situation, but only take them from a safe distance.
When Should You Contact a Tree Surgeon Urgently?
Tree problems that may require prompt attention include:
- A tree that has fallen across a driveway or access route
- Large broken branches hanging above an area people use
- A tree that has developed a sudden lean
- Visible movement or lifting around the roots
- A split trunk or major limb following strong winds
- A damaged tree resting against a building or another tree
These signs do not tell the whole story on their own. The tree’s condition, position and surroundings all affect how the situation should be managed.
If anyone is in immediate danger, call 999.
Emergency Tree Removal in Surrey
A severely damaged tree may need to be removed, particularly where it has become unstable or is obstructing essential access. However, removal is not always the only option. In some circumstances, removing damaged branches or reducing part of the crown may be appropriate.
The approach depends on the extent of the damage and what surrounds the tree. Buildings, fences, neighbouring gardens and overhead cables can all affect how the work is planned.
When you call, describe any nearby hazards and let us know whether the tree has fallen completely or remains partly standing.

Fallen Trees and Broken Branches
A fallen tree can still present hazards. Timber may be under tension, branches can shift unexpectedly, and a partly uprooted tree may move as sections are cut.
Professional tree work involves assessing these conditions before deciding how to dismantle or remove the damaged material. Please keep the affected area clear while arranging assistance.
If a tree is touching power lines, stay well away and call 105 to report it to the electricity network operator.
What to Tell Us When You Call
Giving us clear information helps us understand the urgency and discuss the next steps. Please provide:
Your address and postcode
What has happened and when you noticed it
Whether the tree is standing, leaning or has fallen
Any affected buildings, vehicles or access routes
Details of nearby overhead cables
Access restrictions, such as narrow gates or shared driveways
If it is safe to do so, send photographs showing the whole tree and the surrounding area. For urgent enquiries, please call rather than relying on email alone.
How Much Does Emergency Tree Work Cost?
The cost depends on the tree’s size, the damage involved and how safely it can be accessed. A broken branch in an accessible garden presents a different job from a large tree resting against a building.
Factors affecting the quote include the equipment required, the complexity of dismantling the tree and the arrangements for clearing timber and branches.
Contact us with details of the situation so we can discuss availability and the likely scope of the work.
