Tree Surveys in Northampton to Check Health, Safety and Risk
Northampton Tree Surgeons arranges tree surveys across Northampton and the surrounding towns and villages, carried out by NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams.
A tree survey is a professional inspection of the condition of one or more trees. It identifies defects, decay and disease, and gives you a clear recommendation on whether the tree needs work, monitoring or removal.
They are useful for homeowners worried about a large tree, landlords and managing agents with a duty of care, and buyers or sellers of a property with mature trees. For trees near buildings they can also help with insurance questions and subsidence concerns. Mature trees on Northampton's older estates and next to buildings are worth a periodic check, especially on the shrinkable clay soils found in parts of the county.
What a Survey Covers
We inspect the roots, trunk and canopy, record species, size and condition, and mark each tree's safety risk and any recommended work. You receive a written summary that is clear and specific, rather than a long document you cannot use.
If you need a formal report for a planning application, which in England normally follows British Standard 5837, we can arrange a consulting arboriculturist for you. Where a tree is protected we can also help with the application to the council.

Tree Surveys: Common Questions
Do I need a tree survey?
You might if a large tree is near a building or public space, if it looks unhealthy, if you are buying or selling a property with mature trees, or if you are applying for planning permission.
Can a survey help with subsidence worries?
It helps establish which trees are near a building and how they might affect it, but subsidence investigations usually also need an engineer's report.
Do you do planning tree surveys?
We can arrange a consulting arboriculturist for a formal report. For everyday safety and condition checks our teams can advise directly.
