Dulwich tree surgery expertise
WGCS delivers professional tree surgery in Dulwich, working with homeowners, estates and organisations across Southeast London. Our arborists take a measured, thoughtful approach to tree care, balancing safety, appearance and long-term tree health in every decision we make.
Dulwich is known for its mature trees and established landscapes, and our work reflects that context – careful planning, proportionate intervention and respect for the surrounding environment. Below are answers to some of the questions we’re most often asked about our services.
Tree work in Dulwich is carried out by experienced WGCS arborists with formal industry qualifications, including NPTC and City & Guilds certification. Our team combines technical training with extensive on-site experience, allowing us to handle everything from routine pruning to complex removal, safely and efficiently.
WGCS is also an Arboricultural Association Approved Contractor, which means our working practices, safety standards and quality of work are regularly assessed against recognised industry benchmarks.
All pruning, removal and maintenance work is carried out in line with British Standard BS3998, which provides guidance on best practice for managing established trees and hedges.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we assess each tree individually and recommend work that’s appropriate to its species, condition and setting. This helps protect tree health while ensuring safety and compliance.
Yes. WGCS holds full public and employer’s liability insurance through Arborisk, a specialist insurer for arboricultural professionals.
Before starting work in Dulwich, we carry out a site-specific risk assessment, considering access, nearby structures, pedestrian areas and the condition of the tree itself. All work is planned and delivered in accordance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
Once you contact us, we’ll arrange a site visit so an arborist can assess the tree(s) and the surrounding area. This allows us to understand your concerns, identify any constraints and recommend the most suitable course of action.
You’ll then receive a written quotation setting out the proposed work and any relevant considerations. When the work is carried out, our team works efficiently and with care, ensuring the site is left tidy and well managed on completion.
We place a strong emphasis on honest, proportionate advice. During your initial consultation in Dulwich, we’ll explain the available options and the likely outcomes, helping you make an informed decision.
If work isn’t necessary, or if a lighter-touch approach is more appropriate, we’ll tell you – our recommendations are always guided by what’s best for the tree and its setting.
Yes. WGCS carry out a great deal of work in private gardens, but we also manage larger and more complex projects in Dulwich. This includes mature trees, estate settings, trees close to buildings and sites where access is limited.
Each project is approached with the same level of care, regardless of scale.
We do. WGCS offers a range of tree surveys in Dulwich, including Visual Tree Assessments (VTA) and BS5837 surveys to support planning applications.
These surveys help identify potential risks, inform development decisions and support long-term tree management strategies for residential and commercial sites.
