Genuine or not? ... Customers beware.

Anyone can call themselves a Tree Surgeon! place an advert in the Yellow Pages or local media or as we have seen in recent years bombard whole neighbourhoods with countless leaflets offering a whole list of services. Sadly in the current economic climate this is becoming all too familiar. As a result every week hundreds of trees are being mutilated and damaged beyond repair due to inexperienced operators, with no knowledge of trees or tree requirements, who are prepared to offer unnecessary works and destroy trees simply for their own financial gain.

An advert alone does not guarantee quality of work, or that it will be carried out safely, or that it needs to be carried out at all. Simply stripping trees of all their branches or reducing them to a mutilated stump, has no Arboricultural justification what so ever. In most cases it just highlights the work of an untrained inexperienced rough trader who is financially motivated.

If tree work is not properly, it will lead to:

...all as a result of poor quality, ill-advised and badly executed tree work. Tree work operations (Arboriculture) requires a high degree of technical competence, knowledge of Trees and their needs, supported by training , experience, the right equipment and a respect for a growing living form. For these reasons tree work should only be undertaken by well trained, competent arborists and remember... Cheapest is NOT always Best!

As a third generation company we are committed to this industry 100% and strive to be the best there is, as a result we have made the investment to back up this commitment.

B & B Tree Specialists was formed on the basis that if a Jobs worth Doing, It's Worth Doing WELL, the core of what we are about today. We are now into our third generation of the family with over thirty years of practical experience backed by an extensive range of Arboriculture Qualifications.

It is a rigorous examination consisting of technical expertise, Quality of work, Health and Safety, administration and Insurance and is carried out every two years to ensure standards are always kept to the highest. After our 2007 examination we went on to gain accreditation for CHAS and CONSTRUCTIONLINE this ensures we also keep up to speed with the requirements of our Commercial customers. Later in 2007 we had our professional status independently confirmed in the form of accreditation for IS0 9001, 1400 and 18001 all recognition of the hard work, time and resources invested.

This was closely followed in 2008 by our first local authority term contract this success cemented our status as a professional and dependable company and was the recognition that has seen the business develop to where we are today.
