A professional tree risk assessment helps you identify potential hazards and manage your legal responsibilities as a tree owner.
Trees constantly change in response to weather, environmental conditions, and site factors. As a result, they can become unstable, damaged, or unsafe over time. In many cases, insurers, lenders, or structural engineers require a formal assessment when trees are located within falling distance of buildings or frequently used areas.
Your Legal Duty of Care
Under the Occupiers’ Liability Acts (1957 and 1984), tree owners must take reasonable steps to prevent injury or damage caused by trees on their land.
A professional tree condition report demonstrates that you have met this duty of care. Therefore, it helps protect you from liability while ensuring your trees remain safe and properly managed.

We assess:
