Ash Dieback Management
Ash dieback is still affecting trees across the South East, and infected ash can become unsafe very quickly. We assess, prune, and remove affected ash trees across Sussex and Surrey where public safety, access, and surrounding property are part of the concern.
How The Work Is Handled
The key issue with ash dieback is not just tree health but how quickly brittle timber can become dangerous. Where a tree is badly affected, the work needs planning around the tree’s condition, the site, and the safest access method. That can mean staged removals, controlled dismantling, or machinery support depending on the risk.
Operational Process
- 1Chalara stage 1-4 diagnostic site survey
- 2MEWP access planning for zero-climb felling
- 3Sectional removal of brittle canopy weight
- 4Ground-level stem felling and heavy chipping
- 5Site hygiene to prevent spore transmission
Safety & Compliance
- Tracked aerial platform stability inspections
- Zero-climbing protocol for brittle timber
- Strict bio-security equipment sterilization
- High-viz highway work safety compliance
Practical Example
"We were asked to deal with a declining ash close to a road and neighbouring property. Because the timber was unreliable, the work was planned conservatively and dismantled in a way that reduced risk to both the crew and the surrounding site."
