Tree Health Assessments

Healthy trees are safer, more attractive, and longer-lasting. At Tree Kings Tree Care, we offer professional tree health assessments across East Sussex to help homeowners, landowners, and businesses understand the condition of their trees and make informed decisions about care or removal.

Our qualified arborists inspect for signs of disease, decay, pests, poor structure, and root problems using both visual checks and specialist tools. We assess risk, identify early warning signs, and provide written recommendations for pruning, treatment, or removal — always in plain English, without upselling.

Tree health checks are ideal after storms, before property sales, or as part of routine maintenance — especially in public or high-traffic areas.

Key Benefits:

  • Detect disease, pests, and decay early

  • Assess safety risks and structural stability

  • Honest, practical advice from qualified professionals

  • Written reports available if required

  • Peace of mind for homeowners, managers, and insurers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What does a tree health assessment involve?A. We inspect the canopy, trunk, bark, and roots for signs of stress, decay, pests, or instability — both visually and using simple tools.
Q.  How do I know if my tree is sick?A. Common signs include leaf loss, fungus, cracks, leaning, dieback, or oozing sap. A professional check is the safest way to know for sure.
Q.   Do I need an assessment for insurance or planning?A. Yes — many insurers and councils request formal tree assessments for risk management or planning permission. We can provide written reports.
Q.   Is this the same as a tree survey?A. Not quite. Tree health assessments are more informal and focused on health and safety. Tree surveys (BS5837) are required for construction or legal use.
Q.  What happens if a tree is unsafe?A. We’ll clearly explain your options — whether that’s pruning, bracing, or full removal. Safety is always our top priority.
Q.  How often should my trees be assessed?A. Every 1–3 years, especially for mature or high-risk trees. We also recommend checks after extreme weather or visible damage.
