Filling in the short form below will instantly give you a set of estimates for an Arboriculturalist Report (Tree Survey) relating to your property. This set of prices will come directly from Arboriculturalists who cover the local area. You will also be provided with their full contact details, all within less than a second. You can then contact them directly and compare prices and service. Should you wish to place an order you would deal with them directly. There is no middle man.
There are a number of possible reasons for requiring an Arboriculturalist’s Report:
1. If you are planning a development close to trees, your Local Planning Authority will normally expect you to provide a Tree Protection Plan (to BS5837) with your planning application.
2. If you are a land owner, you have a duty of care to take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of your trees. Depending on your circumstances this may require regular Tree Hazard inspections.
3. You may have a tree near a building and you are concerned that it may in the future cause damage to the property.
If you have a building that appears to have already been damaged by a tree (for example subsidence caused by tree roots), then a report from an Arboriculturalist may be useful however a Structural Inspection from a Structural Engineer or Building Surveyor would probably be more suitable (click here for Structural Inspection Report).
The cost for an Arboriculturalist to visit a property, examine a tree (or a group of trees) and produce a report, will vary greatly depending on individual requirements. The prices generated on this website are estimates only and assume that the requirement is reasonably straight forward. The estimate would include the cost for the Arboriculturalist to travel to the site, inspect the tree and produce a brief report. For a more accurate estimate of the possible cost you will need to speak to your chosen Arboriculturalist.
Before placing an order for an Arboriculturalist’s Report you should ensure that your chosen supplier has suitable qualifications, experience and insurance.
If you are also about to buy a property then you may wish to consider obtaining a Building Survey or Homebuyers Report for your new prospective home.
