Planning & Development
BS5837 surveys and planning reports where trees may affect an application, design, condition discharge or construction stage.

Start with your email and tell us what you need in plain English. We’ll guide you to the right survey, report or specialist arboricultural service, then a consultant confirms the scope before pricing.
Enter the email address where you want us to send your proposal. We’ll ask for the site and planning details next.
You do not need to diagnose the technical service before you contact us. Choose the closest option in the form, or use “Help me choose” and explain the problem in your own words.
BS5837 surveys and planning reports where trees may affect an application, design, condition discharge or construction stage.
General arboricultural inspections and professional advice where condition, safety, management or tree risk needs to be understood.
Reports connected with buying, selling, lending, insurance queries, surveyor requests or property-related tree concerns.
Root-related concerns, cracking or movement, decay testing, report review, disputes and more complex expert arboricultural questions.
Technical arboricultural terminology is not something a client should have to learn before making an enquiry. Describe the situation, paste wording you have received, and upload any useful plans, photos or existing reports.
The form can narrow the likely route, but a consultant still checks the professional scope before pricing.
The form is built to handle real-world enquiries rather than forcing every client to know a report name.
The quote form is there to make the first step easier. The actual value is the arboricultural judgement behind the scope, survey, testing, report or advice you ultimately receive.
The focus is professional arboricultural advice rather than using the report to sell tree surgery.
Your enquiry is checked before pricing so the proposal can reflect what the project or problem actually requires.
Where useful, send older surveys, reports, plans, wording or photos so unnecessary repeat work can be avoided where possible.
The proposal sets out the agreed scope and fee before you decide whether to instruct the work.
We keep the form progressive so you are not presented with a huge wall of technical questions all at once.
One simple field first, so your quote request can stay connected while you continue.
Select the service you recognise, or use “Help me choose” and describe what you need in plain English.
Depending on the route, the form asks relevant questions and lets you add wording, plans, documents or photos where helpful.
The professional scope is checked and a clear proposal can then be prepared for the work required.
Independent reviews displayed directly from Trustindex.
The same quote journey works whether you are a homeowner with one concern or a project professional managing a development.
Tree condition, safety, property purchases, neighbour concerns, roots, decay or planning around a home.
BS5837 constraints, planning reports, design-stage tree advice and project coordination.
Planning-stage arboriculture, construction methodology, protection measures and site support.
Property reports, root-related investigations, expert input, document review and specialist arboricultural evidence.
Tell us the site location in the quote journey and the team can confirm coverage for your enquiry.
Physical offices: West Molesey and Crawley. Brighton and Waterlooville are regional contact hubs.
You do not need to have all the answers before starting. The form is designed to ask only what is relevant to the route you choose.
Use the “Help me choose” option and describe what you have been asked for or what you are trying to solve. You can also paste wording from a council, lender, insurer, architect, developer or other professional. A consultant can then check the likely route before pricing.
Email is the simplest way to connect the quote request from the start. The rest of the form remains progressive, so you are not asked for a full set of contact details before you have even explained what you need.
Yes, where the selected route supports them. Existing information can be useful for understanding the request and may help avoid unnecessary repeat work where appropriate.
No. Give the best information you have. If tree numbers or site scale are relevant to pricing, the form or consultant can clarify that later.
Yes. The general quote journey includes BS5837 planning and development work, including survey/report stages and related arboricultural planning services.
Yes. The property route is intended for buying, selling, mortgage, lender, surveyor and insurance-related arboricultural enquiries.
Yes. The quote form has a roots and subsidence route for concerns involving cracking, movement, suspected root influence and professional or insurer involvement.
Yes. Specialist tree assessment can include decay-related investigation and, where appropriate, testing methods such as Picus or Resistograph work depending on the concern and scope.
The fee depends on the service, site, tree numbers, complexity, available information and required output. The aim is to confirm the appropriate scope and then provide a clear fixed-fee proposal before you instruct.
Turnaround varies by service, survey availability, access and complexity. Add any important deadline to the enquiry so the team can confirm what is realistic for your particular job.
