Our Tree Survey Services in Manchester

A tree survey, provided by an arboricultural consultant, is a valuable service that assesses the health of trees, their root protection zones, size, and crown spread. Additionally, it includes a detailed management plan to guide you for years to come. At Woodfelder, we provide expert tree surveys across Manchester, Stockport and East Cheshire, offering landowners, architects, and developers clear arboricultural advice to support both safety and long-term planning. Our professional surveyors will provide a comprehensive report for mortgage and planning purposes, or for health and safety requirements.


Cost of a Tree Survey

A tree survey typically costs £300 plus VAT, with the final price varying based on factors such as the quantity of trees, the overall size of the site, and any additional considerations. The survey is a vital tool for assessing the health and condition of trees, as well as identifying any potential risks they may pose.
Conducted by qualified arborists, these surveys provide valuable information for property owners and land managers to make informed decisions regarding tree management and maintenance. The cost of the survey reflects the expertise and resources required to accurately assess the trees and ensure their ongoing care and preservation.

Benefits of Tree Surveys

Whether you need a health & safety survey, a BS5837 Tree Survey for planning, or a mortgage tree report, our consultants can help.

Get a Mortgage Tree Report

Mortgage lenders often require a professional arboricultural report to ensure that trees near a property won’t cause structural issues or pose safety risks. Our mortgage tree surveys assess the roots, tree size, and potential damage risks of trees, providing clear arboricultural advice for both buyers and lenders. A mortgage tree report gives peace of mind during the purchase process and helps ensure the long-term value of the property.

BS5837 Tree Survey for Planning & Building Work

If you are submitting planning applications, especially those involving construction near existing trees, a BS5837 survey, combined with an arboricultural impact assessment and a tree protection plan, is often essential. Our arboricultural consultancy services are designed to meet the needs of local authorities and planning officers, helping you progress smoothly through the approval process. By balancing the needs of development with the retention of good quality trees, we help architects, developers, and landowners find workable solutions.

Meet safety requirements

Employers, landowners, and managers of public spaces have a legal duty to ensure trees do not pose a hazard. A Health & Safety survey provides a professional assessment of risk, highlighting any remedial work needed to protect people and property. By acting on arboricultural advice, you can demonstrate compliance, reduce liability, and ensure your trees continue to provide shade, beauty, and environmental benefits without creating danger.

Deal with Tree Preservation Orders

Working with TPO trees requires careful management and professional knowledge. Our arboricultural reports outline the best course of action while respecting the legal protections in place. We liaise with local authorities to provide the necessary documentation and support, ensuring any tree surgery or removal is carried out lawfully. Whether you need to prune, manage, or replace a protected tree, our expert tree surveys and arboricultural method statements ensure compliance while keeping your project on track.

How We Handle Safety

At Woodfelder Tree Care, safety isn’t just about using chainsaws or climbing high into tree canopies; it’s built into every part of our work, including professional tree inspections. While surveys don’t require the same level of heavy equipment as felling or pruning, they are often the first step in making sure a site is safe for future work and for the people who use the space every day.Our qualified tree surveyors carry out detailed risk assessments during each inspection, identifying potential hazards such as weak or diseased branches, decay within the trunk, or trees that may pose a danger to nearby buildings, footpaths, or utilities. By spotting these issues early, we help prevent accidents before they happen.On-site, our team follows professional safety procedures, ensuring access points are secure and the survey is carried out without risk to staff, clients, or the public. Every recommendation we make in a survey report, whether it’s pruning, monitoring, or full removal, is guided by the principle of protecting both people and property in the long term. Woodfelder’s health and safety standards are independently audited through our CHAS Advanced accreditation, giving you confidence that the advice you receive is not only professional but also backed by a commitment to the highest industry standards.
