Include permissions, access and waste in the quote
Tree work can change dramatically if the tree is protected, access is poor or branches need controlled lowering over buildings or boundaries.
- Send photos from several angles including the base and surrounding access.
- Check TPO and conservation-area status before work begins.
- Say whether timber, branches, chips and the stump should be removed.
- Mention sheds, conservatories, cables, roads and neighbouring property below the crown.

Nottingham protected-tree context
Trees in conservation areas and trees covered by preservation orders need planning checks before work starts
Nottingham's conservation and planning controls can affect pruning and felling even on private land. Homeowners should establish whether a tree is protected before accepting a quote that assumes immediate work can begin.
Conservation-area trees are subject to planning control
Nottingham City Council states that trees in conservation areas are protected by planning controls. Its guidance requires notice for qualifying tree work, giving the council an opportunity to consider whether a Tree Preservation Order should be made before work proceeds.
Source: Nottingham City Council — conservation areas and listed buildings
The six-week conservation-area notice applies to qualifying trees
Nottingham's tree-work guidance says notice is required for conservation-area trees above the statutory trunk-diameter threshold. Ask the tree surgeon to identify the protection status and who will submit any required notice or TPO application before agreeing a start date.

Check protection status
Establish TPO or conservation-area requirements before agreeing a start date.

Questions
Tree Surgeons in Nottingham: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tree surgery cost in Nottingham?
Cost depends on tree size, species, access, rigging, waste removal, stump work and any protected-tree process. Compare quotes for the same scope.
Can I prune a tree in a Nottingham conservation area?
Possibly, but qualifying work normally needs prior notice to the council, and protected trees can require formal consent.
What if the tree has a Tree Preservation Order?
Work to a TPO tree normally requires the appropriate consent unless a specific statutory exception applies. Check before work begins.
Should the quote include removal of branches and logs?
Confirm this explicitly. Chipping, timber removal, stump grinding and site clearance can materially change the price.
Do I have to hire a tree surgeon who responds?
No. Up to three interested local professionals can respond and there is no obligation to hire.
