Our in-house arboriculture team provides expert tree assessments and management services to support both subsidence investigations and long-term property stability. Trees and vegetation can significantly impact ground conditions, making professional arboricultural input a vital part of our holistic approach to structural and environmental risk management.

Expert Tree Surveys & Risk Assessments

Our qualified arboriculturists carry out detailed tree surveys to identify species, condition, root influence zones, and potential risks to buildings or underground services. All assessments are compliant with BS5837 and industry best practices, and include:

• Tree identification and health assessments

• Root influence and subsidence risk analysis

• Recommendations for tree removal, pruning, or preservation

• Support for planning applications and tree preservation orders (TPOs)

Integrated Subsidence Investigations

As part of our full-service offering, arboriculture is seamlessly integrated into our subsidence investigations. We assess whether tree roots are contributing to soil desiccation and movement, and work closely with structural engineers and insurers to recommend proportionate, evidence-based solutions.

Tree Management & Monitoring

We offer ongoing tree management and monitoring services for clients who require long-term oversight of tree growth and its potential impact on structures. Our team can also liaise with local authorities where protected trees or sensitive sites are involved.
