★★★★★ 5.0 GoogleWe work for the people who are accountable for trees on land they do not own personally: facilities and estates teams, site managers, property managers, landowners and developers.
Occupied sites where bays, loading areas and delivery routes have to keep working while the tree work happens.
Grounds with people underneath the trees, term dates to work around, and a health and safety file that needs a record.
Boundary lines, access tracks, woodland edges and single problem trees, with the timber and arisings accounted for.
Clearance ahead of a start, retention and protection of trees that are staying, and handover evidence for the file.
Customer-facing sites where appearance matters as much as safety, and where work has to fit around opening hours.
Several sites, one point of contact, and a record for each so you are not rebuilding the history every year.
A single dangerous tree and a rolling estate programme need different arrangements. We do both, and they are quoted differently.
Removal, make-safe, clearance or a single specified pruning job. You get a site assessment, a written quote stating the method and the exclusions, and a completion record at the end.
Inspection, a prioritised schedule and work phased across visits around your operation. The inspection and the work it recommends are priced separately, so you can approve, phase or defer each item on its merits.
Contractors price what they can measure and see. Send these six things and the first price you get back will be closer to the final one:
Three guides on this site walk through that briefing process in detail: the site clearance quote checklist, the commercial tree removal quote guide and the vegetation clearance specification.
A tree job should leave you with a file, not just a cleared site. As standard you get:
What was carried out, against which tree references, with any agreed variation and the reason for it.
Taken before, during and after where the work is easier to evidence than to describe.
Transfer records for anything that left site, with the carrier and destination details that apply.
The risk assessment and method statement issued for your job, adapted to your site rules.
£10m public liability certificate and Constructionline Gold details, before you book.
Where monitoring or further work is advised, with the date and the owner of that action written down.
Eight services, each answering a different problem. If you are not sure which applies to your site, the services index has a short table that maps problems to services.
Regular work is across County Durham, North Yorkshire and the North East: Durham, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle, Peterlee, Seaham, Spennymoor, Darlington, Teesside, Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Gateshead, Newcastle, Sunderland, Richmond, Northallerton, Stokesley, Thirsk, York and Harrogate, plus the business parks and industrial estates between them.
That is the area we can attend routinely, and where a small urgent job is realistically serviceable.
Larger projects further afield. Longer contracts, phased programmes and larger clearance or estate work outside that area are considered where the programme, access and duration suit. Send the site details and we will confirm whether we can cover it, and how attendance would be arranged, before anyone visits.
Commercial Tree Surgery is the commercial division of Ross Webster Tree Services, based in County Durham. The work is carried out by NPTC qualified arborists, and the same person handles your enquiry, the site visit and the sign-off.
Commercial work is judged on paperwork as much as chainsaws: RAMS before we arrive, insurance and accreditation you can check, work planned around tenants and trading hours, and a site left signed off.
More about how we work, and what we can provide for your files.
These are illustrative examples of the kind of work we take on and how a job of that type is planned, not reports of completed client projects. The photographs are illustrative and are credited beneath each one.
Example: business park, Gateshead area
A line of mature leylandii overhanging a car park and footpath: the kind of job where the trees come out in sections, the stumps are ground below ground level and the bays go back into use.

Example: industrial estate, Newton Aycliffe area
Tree and scrub clearance ahead of a development start, where the scope has to state exactly what is cleared, what happens to stumps and what condition the ground is handed over in.

Example: office grounds, Darlington area
A split tree over a staff car park after high winds: make-safe first, then clearance priced separately once the site is stable and the access is clear.

Read More →Eight detailed guides for the people who buy this work: how to brief a contractor, what to check in a quote, how consents work and what a handover record should contain. They are written for site, facilities and property managers rather than for homeowners.
These are the credentials behind every job, and they are available for your file before you book rather than after you ask.
Registered with Constructionline Gold, so your procurement team can verify the business rather than taking our word for it.
Every arborist holds current NPTC certificates of competence for the work they carry out, with Lantra training and assessment behind them.
Cover of £10m public liability. Certificate provided on request, and before work starts.
Risk assessments and method statements issued for the specific job and adapted to your contractor requirements.
Where your procurement process needs something else, such as a completed example of our handover record, waste carrier registration or a sample method statement, ask at enquiry stage and we will tell you whether we can provide it.
"RAMS arrived before the team did, the work was done out of hours so the car park never closed, and the site was spotless after. Exactly what we need from a contractor."
Facilities Manager
Business park, Gateshead
"Surveyed the whole estate, gave us a costed priority list and stuck to it. The trees look better than they have in years and the paperwork is all filed."
Estates Manager
Industrial estate, Newton Aycliffe
"A tree came down on our access road at 7am. They were on site by 9 and it was cleared before lunch. Professional from the first call."
Site Manager
Office grounds, York
Yes. Constructionline Gold, NPTC qualified arborists, Lantra trained and insured to £10m public liability. Certificates are available before you book rather than after you ask.
Yes. RAMS are sent with the quote and before site entry, and they are adapted to your contractor requirements and the site's own rules.
Send the site details and we will tell you when we can attend and quote. Where a tree is unsafe or has already failed, call rather than using the form so the urgency is understood straight away.
Yes. Early starts, evenings, weekends and phased programmes can be arranged so tree works do not close car parks, entrances or delivery routes during the business day. Out of hours work is priced as such.
We check the Tree Preservation Order and conservation area position before work is booked, and we tell you what applies. Consent, notice and licence applications sit with the tree owner. Surveys and reports are a separately commissioned service with its own scope, author and fee.
Regular work is across County Durham, North Yorkshire and the North East. Larger contracts further afield are considered where the programme, access and duration suit, and we will confirm coverage from the site details before quoting.
A quotation visit for tree works is free. We look at the site with you, agree what the work has to achieve, and send a written quote with the method, the access assumptions and the exclusions set out.
Tree surveys and reports are different: they are a commissioned service with a quoted fee and an agreed scope, and they are not included in the free visit.
If a tree is unsafe or has already failed, call rather than using the form so we can assess the urgency straight away.
