Storm-damaged trees need careful handling

A fallen or broken tree is not like one standing normally. Timber that has twisted, split or come down across something is often under tension and can move without warning when it is cut. That is why these jobs need to be approached carefully and in the right order.

Our first job is to make the situation safe: taking weight off a roof, freeing a blocked lane or driveway, or bringing down a hanging limb. Then the tree is cut up and cleared so access and repairs can get back on track.

What we do

Emergency tree work we undertake

Urgent tree problems at homes, businesses and on access routes, made safe first and then cleared.

  1. Storm-damaged trees

    Split, snapped and twisted trees dealt with in a controlled way, piece by piece.

  2. Dangerous branches

    Hanging or cracked limbs over houses, cars, paths and roads brought down safely.

  3. Fallen trees

    Trees down across gardens, lanes and driveways cut up and cleared to restore access.

  4. Trees on buildings

    Trees resting on roofs, sheds, walls and fences taken off with care to avoid further damage.

  5. Urgent property concerns

    Trees that suddenly look unsafe after wind or heavy rain, checked and made safe.

  6. Clear-up afterwards

    Timber and brash chipped, stacked or taken away so the site is left tidy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you come out?

You can call us 24/7 about an emergency. How quickly we can get to you depends on where you are and how many trees are down at the time, especially after a big storm, so we will give you an honest answer when you call.

What should I do while I wait?

Keep everyone, including children and pets, well away from the tree and anything it is resting on. Do not try to cut or move it yourself, and stay well clear of any lines it may have touched. If a tree is on overhead electricity lines, contact the network operator straight away.

Can you remove a tree that has fallen on my house?

Yes. Trees resting on buildings are taken off carefully in sections so that no more damage is done. Once the weight is off, the rest of the tree is cut up and cleared.

Will my insurance cover storm damage?

That depends on your own policy, so check with your insurer. Taking photos of the damage before work starts, where it is safe to do so, is usually helpful.

Is a damaged tree always taken down?

Not always. Sometimes removing the broken limbs and reducing the crown is enough to make a tree safe. We will tell you honestly whether it can be kept or needs to come down.

Do you cover my area for storm damage?

We deal with storm-damaged and fallen trees throughout Westmeath, Roscommon, Longford, Offaly and Galway from our base in Athlone. After a big storm, call us and we will tell you straight whether and when we can reach you.
