Frequently Asked Questions

What tree care services does SKLM offer?
Our tree care services include crown reduction, crown thinning, raising tree canopies, deadwooding, removing ivy growth, cutting back epicormic growth, and the removal of small trees. For larger or more complex tree work, we can advise on the best course of action for your site.

What is the difference between crown reduction and crown thinning?
Crown reduction reduces the overall size of a tree by shortening its branches, helping to manage height and spread. Crown thinning removes selected branches from within the canopy to let in more light and reduce wind resistance, without significantly changing the tree's overall shape. Both are carried out in line with British Standard BS 3998.

Do I need permission to carry out tree work in Bromley?

Yes, if your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a Conservation Area. In either case, you will need to notify the London Borough of Bromley before work begins. SKLM can advise you on whether your trees are likely to be protected and help you navigate the application process.

How do I know if a tree on my property needs attention?

Common signs include dead or hanging branches, significant leaning, fungal growth at the base, bark damage, or branches that are overhanging buildings, fences, or public areas. If you are unsure, we can carry out a site assessment and recommend the appropriate course of action.

How often should trees be inspected or maintained?

For most residential and commercial sites, an annual inspection is recommended as a baseline. Trees on high-footfall sites such as schools, housing developments, or managed estates may require more frequent checks to meet health and safety obligations. SKLM can put together a scheduled maintenance programme tailored to your site.

Can you carry out tree work as part of a grounds maintenance contract?
Yes. For clients on a regular maintenance programme, tree care can be incorporated into your scheduled visits, covering tasks such as raising canopies, removing ivy, and cutting back growth. More significant tree work is quoted separately following a site assessment.

Do you remove tree waste after the work is completed?
Yes. All arisings (branches, logs, and debris) are cleared from site as part of the service. We can also advise on whether any timber is suitable for reuse or chipping.

How long has SKLM been providing tree care in Bromley?
SKLM has been providing tree management services in and around Bromley since 1987, giving us close to 40 years of experience working with trees across residential, commercial, and managed sites in the area.
