How can you tell?"},"content":{"rendered":"

A lot of people ask, how can I tell a good tree surgeon from a poor one, even before the starts work?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Here is a list of some thing to ask or check before you agree any works,
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n Can I\u00a0see your certificates\u00a0please?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A reason we as tree surgeons get certified is to ensure we are proficient\u00a0in the use and the safety\u00a0of the machinery\u00a0and equipment we use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you got insurance?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Insurance is integral to any building or ground\u00a0workers you have working on your property or land. The persons insured\u00a0should also be trained in the area of works, otherwise\u00a0their insurance is null\u00a0and void.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I\u00a0see some previous works please?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As tree surgeons we are proud of our work, we\u00a0have photos\u00a0or videos of our work, either on our phones or our websites.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are they wearing the appropriate PPE?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tree surgeons\u00a0have very strict PPE legislation, \u00a0we must wear appropriate and specific\u00a0trousers, boots and helmets complete with ear defends and visors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did they cold call?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Most professional tree surgeons will not cold call you, they may leaflet drop. But\u00a0with so many unprofessional firms around at the moment, professional firms still hold their heads high.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now although this is not an exhausted\u00a0list, this is just a quick line of initial\u00a0questioning,Tree knowledge<\/strong>, and an appreciation\u00a0for\u00a0trees and the environment\u00a0is also an integral part of most professional\u00a0trees surgeons business\u00a0ethos. A waste carriers licence is also something to ask about.<\/span><\/p>\n

A professional tree surgeon\u00a0will not force<\/strong>\u00a0or even ask for an agreement of works on site, most will agree to compile a quotation and send\u00a0this in the post or via email\u00a0for your perusal\u00a0with insurance and terms conditions details.<\/span><\/p>\n

The photos above are some photos of works we have seen in and around England where a professional\u00a0firm had completed tree works. As you can see from the photos, the trees have been left in\u00a0poor and\u00a0dangerous condition<\/strong>. This will only ever lead to a higher risk of injury or failure, just leading to more trees works to be done.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
