Emergency tree surgeons, 24/7
If a tree has fallen on a road, a building with people inside, or a power line, call 999 or 105 first. For a fallen or dangerous tree on your own property, call one of the 10 firms below that advertise 24-hour emergency callouts.
Every firm here advertises 24-hour callouts on its own website. We last checked the wording on 9 October 2026. We haven't tested response times, so confirm they can come out when you call.
Danger to life? Call 999. If a tree is touching or has brought down power lines, stay well clear, treat the lines as live and call 105, the free power network number. Don't try to move the tree yourself.

What counts as a tree emergency?
- A tree or large branch that has fallen onto a house, car, garage or greenhouse.
- A tree that is leaning, split or has lifted roots after a storm and could fall onto a building, road or path.
- A fallen tree blocking your only access, driveway or a neighbour's property.
- Hanging branches over a path, garden or play area.
A tree that has fallen across open garden with no risk to anyone can usually wait for a normal daytime quote, which costs less than an out-of-hours callout.
What to do while you wait
- Keep everyone, including pets, away from the tree and anything it is resting on.
- Don't climb on the tree or try to cut it. Branches under tension can spring back with great force.
- Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer.
- If gas, water or electricity supplies are damaged, call the relevant emergency number.
Trees on roads and public land
A tree blocking a public road is the job of Worcestershire County Council as highway authority, or National Highways on motorways and major trunk roads. If it's a danger to traffic, call 999. Trees in parks and on verges usually belong to the district council.
Questions
Who do I call if a tree has fallen on a road?
If it is blocking the road or anyone is at risk, call 999. Otherwise report it to Worcestershire County Council, the highway authority, or to National Highways on motorways and major trunk roads.
Will my home insurance pay for emergency tree work?
Many buildings policies cover removing a fallen tree that has damaged your home, but not usually a tree that falls without causing damage. Call your insurer first if you can, take photos before work starts, and keep the invoice.
Can a protected tree be removed in an emergency?
Urgent work to remove an immediate risk of serious harm can go ahead without consent, but you must give the council written notice as soon as practicable. Do only what makes the tree safe and take dated photos.
