Storm Damaged Trees

24 Hour Call Out – Emergency Tree Works.

This is the season where we tend to get successive storms across the UK and Cumbria in particular. Arborscape have multiple on-call teams to deal urgently with storm damaged trees

At Arborscape Environmental Services, we understand how critical fast, professional action is when storm damage occurs. That’s why our multi-crew teams maintains 24-hour operational capacity, 365 days a year. When severe weather hits, our dedicated on-call crews are ready to respond immediately.


Arborscape’s Emergency Response Service

Storms can weaken or fell trees in several ways:

  • High winds can cause branches to snap or uproot entire trees, especially in waterlogged soil.
  • Snow loading adds extra weight to canopies, causing limbs to fail without warning.
  • Heavy rain softens ground, which can destabilising root systems.
  • Successive storms compound damage, weakening trees that previously survived high winds are more susceptible to storm damage the next time around.

These failures pose serious risks to homes, vehicles, buildings and infrastructure as well as members of the public. Fast intervention is essential to prevent further damage and ensure public safety.

When storms strike, rapid assessment and action are crucial. Arborscape’s emergency teams are fully equipped to handle:

  • Storm damaged trees blocking roads and footpaths
  • Dangerous hanging branches
  • Uprooted or leaning trees.
  • Storm damaged trees blocking waterways. These can become obstructed by branches and tree debris causing localised flooding.

Our trained arborists use industry-standard equipment and techniques to safely dismantle or remove dangerous trees, in even the most challenging conditions.


Prevention is key

Don’t wait until storm damaged trees cause problems on your property or damage a neighbours home. Preventative assessment and early action to remove that leaning tree or hanging branch, can head off big bills or legal action. Remedial tree works can often alleviate any potential issues before they arise.

Ash dieback makes ash tree particularly susceptible to storm damage. The disease makes the trees limbs brittle and they can fail suddenly without warning. Find out more about ash dieback here. Tackling affected ash trees early on can extend their life and mitigate problems.
