A tree damage survey is designed to look at whether a tree has caused physical damage to either a property or other hard landscaped areas. This may include; foundations, underground pipes, walls, fences, tarmac, concrete or paved areas etc. This may also include a tree root damage investigation, which is particularly relevant if you are trying to identify if your tree or a neighbour’s tree has caused the damage.
We can also look at the potential damage a tree may cause in the future. This is a particularly useful survey for property management companies.
The Tree Damage Assessment takes two different avenues, firstly the actual physical damage caused and secondly the potential damage a tree could cause in the future. As such we often have two different groups of people looking for a Tree Damage Survey – those who are sure a tree has already caused damage and those who are concerned a tree may cause damage in the future, (this maybe their own tree or a neighbours tree).
Our ‘Potential Tree Damage Survey’ is typically useful for the following three types of client:
For Property Management companies this type of survey can help tick your H&S box for trees especially if it is in connection to a ‘Tree Health Survey’.
Then our reports are perfect if a neighbouring tree has caused damage to your property, fence or boundary walls. They are factual, easy to understand and clearly show where the liability lies. We can also include accurate estimates for any remedial work needed to be carried out.
If the neighbour fails to compensate you for the damage caused by their tree, then we can offer a Part 35 compliant report. This type of report is written in a way that is acceptable to the courts and will be requested by your solicitors if you decide to take the adjacent landowner to court.
