Frequently Asked Questions
When storms bring down trees or big branches, many people have questions about safety, insurance and what to do next.
What should I do first if a tree falls during a storm?
Stay clear of the area, especially if powerlines, roofs or vehicles are involved. Keep children and pets away, then take photos from a safe distance for records. If powerlines are down, call the electricity provider or emergency services immediately. Once the area is safe, contact a qualified arborist for assessment and clean-up.
Can I remove storm-damaged branches myself?
Small, low branches that are easy to reach from the ground with hand tools may be manageable for some people. Anything involving height, chainsaws, ladders, tensioned branches or work near powerlines is risky. Hidden forces can cause branches to spring or roll unexpectedly, so larger jobs are best left to trained professionals.
Will insurance cover damage from fallen trees?
Coverage depends on the policy, the cause of the damage and what was affected. Many home insurance policies include storm-related damage to buildings, fences and sometimes contents, but may not cover tree removal in undamaged areas. It helps to contact the insurer quickly, provide photos and follow their instructions on quotes and reports.
Fast Help When Trees Come Down
Emergency storm damage work usually starts with a quick visual assessment from a safe distance, followed by securing the area with barriers or tape. We then use saws, rigging gear and sometimes machinery to carefully cut and lower damaged branches or trunks. We prioritise clearing driveways, doors and high-risk areas, and organise removal or on-site processing of debris where access allows.
