Emergency tree work in Iver Heath

A split union, hanging limb or partly uprooted tree can move after the wind eases. Keep people, pets and vehicles away. Do not stand under damaged timber, pull it with a rope or cut wood under tension. Close a private route only where that can be done without approaching the tree.

Call 999 for an immediate danger to life or a serious public-road hazard. Where a tree contacts electricity lines, stay well away and call 105. A tree, fence or wet ground may carry danger from the line. Woodside's call-out does not replace the emergency services or network operator.

Give the Iver Heath address, what has broken and whether it blocks a doorway, driveway or shared access. Name buildings, vehicles or boundaries within reach. Wide photographs can help when they are taken from a safe position. Never step inside the fall area for a closer picture.

The crew still needs a safe route, suitable weather and enough light for the task. A night call does not guarantee cutting can begin immediately, and Woodside does not advertise a fixed arrival time. The urgent phase may only remove the immediate obstruction, with later work quoted separately.

Protected-tree controls can have a narrow exception where work is urgently needed to remove an immediate risk of serious harm. The work must go no further than necessary, and current notice and evidence requirements still matter. Damage that is not an immediate serious risk follows the normal permission route.

Clean-up is included in the agreed call-out. The job record states how branches, chip and timber will be handled because access and conditions may limit the urgent phase. Woodside provides the tree work, not a tree survey or consultancy report.
