Tree Surgery in Reigate
Tree surgery is the pruning, reduction, felling or removal of trees to manage their size, health and safety, carried out with appropriate climbing, rigging or machine access depending on the tree and site.
In Reigate, that covers Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley. Reigate sits at the foot of the North Downs, with a historic town centre and a number of well-established residential areas featuring substantial Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses. Its position near the Surrey Hills National Landscape (formerly AONB) shapes planning policy for parts of the borough.

Reigate has a strong stock of larger detached and semi-detached Victorian and Edwardian houses, along with mock-Tudor interwar properties, many of which suit generously proportioned rear and wraparound extensions or double-storey additions.
Planning considerations
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council is the local planning authority. The historic town centre is a conservation area, and parts of the borough fall within the Surrey Hills National Landscape (National Landscape, formerly AONB), which brings additional design and landscape considerations for extensions and new structures.

FAQs
Tree Surgery in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide tree surgery across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
Do I need permission to prune or fell a tree?
If the tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order, or sits within a conservation area, you normally need to notify the local planning authority or obtain consent before work starts — we check this during our initial assessment so you're not caught out.
What happens to the wood and branches afterwards?
Arisings are usually chipped or removed from site as part of the job. If you'd like to keep logs for firewood or have particular disposal preferences, let us know when we quote so it's reflected in the price.
Does the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
