Emergency tree work in Windsor

A split union, hanging branch or partly uprooted tree may move after the wind eases. Keep people, pets and vehicles away. Do not walk underneath for a photograph, pull damaged timber with a rope or cut wood held under tension. Close a private route only if that can be done without approaching the tree.

Call 999 where there is an immediate danger to life or a serious public-road hazard. If the tree contacts electricity lines, stay well clear and call 105. Wet ground, fences and branches may carry danger from the line. Woodside's call-out does not replace the emergency services or network operator.

Give the Windsor address, what has failed and whether it blocks a doorway, passage, drive or shared route. Name any wall, roof, vehicle or neighbouring property within reach. A wide photograph can help if it is taken from a safe position outside the possible fall area.

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

Protected-tree controls can include a narrow exception for work urgently needed to remove an immediate risk of serious harm. Work must go no further than necessary, and current evidence or notice requirements still matter. Damage that does not present that immediate risk follows the normal permission process.

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