Service Overview
What 24/7 Storm Damage Involves
What is 24/7 storm damage?
Emergency tree work deals with trees and limbs that have become an immediate danger, usually after high winds, heavy snow or sudden structural failure. The first job is always to make the site safe: removing hanging branches, taking weight off damaged structures and clearing access. The rest of the tree can then be dealt with properly.
Who it's for
Anyone with a tree that has fallen or partly failed: homeowners, landlords, farms, schools, pre-schools and businesses across Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. If a tree is threatening people, property or access, it counts as an emergency.
When you need it
When a tree has fallen onto a house, car, fence or road; when a large limb is hanging or split and could drop at any moment; when a tree is leaning suddenly after a storm; or when fallen timber is blocking a driveway or entrance you need to use.
Why use a professional
Storm-damaged trees are some of the most dangerous to work on. Wood under tension can spring back violently when cut, and partly failed trees can shift without warning. This is not a job for a chainsaw bought on the day. A qualified tree surgeon knows how to release tension safely and bring the tree down in a controlled way.
The Cost of Waiting
What Happens If You Leave It
After a storm, a damaged tree can go from 'a worry' to 'a disaster' very quickly.
Hanging limbs
Split or broken branches caught in the crown, sometimes called 'hangers', can fall without warning onto whoever is below.
Further collapse
A tree that has partly failed is weakened. More wind, or even its own weight, can bring the rest down.
Damage getting worse
A tree resting on a roof, fence or car keeps adding pressure. The sooner the weight is taken off, the less there is to repair.
Blocked access
Fallen trees across drives, roads or entrances stop you getting in or out and can block emergency services.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Trying to cut a fallen or leaning tree yourself, trunks under tension can kick back violently
- Standing or parking under a damaged tree 'to have a look'
- Waiting for the weather to calm down while a tree is still resting on the house
- Pulling at hanging branches from the ground

In Detail
Types of Emergency Tree Work
Every emergency is different, but most fall into a handful of situations.
Working with Roberts Roots
Todd Roberts, Founder, runs every job himself. On larger jobs he brings in a trusted team of close friends, each self-employed with their own public liability insurance. Before any cutting starts, trees are checked for Tree Preservation Orders and conservation areas.
Fallen whole trees
Uprooted or snapped trees lying across gardens, drives, roads or buildings. These are cut and lifted away in stages, working from the safest side and relieving tension as the work goes on.
Hanging and split limbs
Large branches partly torn from the trunk or caught in the crown. These are often the most dangerous, because they can fall at any time. They're rigged and lowered in a controlled way.
Trees on buildings and vehicles
Where a tree is resting on a roof, conservatory or car, sections are removed carefully so the structure isn't damaged further as weight is taken off.
Leaning and unstable trees
A tree that has started to lean after a storm, or has lifted its root plate, may need removing before it goes over completely.
Commercial and public sites
For schools, pre-schools, businesses and landlords, emergency work also means making the area safe for pupils, customers and tenants quickly.
What to Expect
Before, During and After Your 24/7 Storm Damage Job
Before the visit
When you get in touch, a short description of the job and a couple of photos go a long way. Tell Todd roughly where the tree or hedge is, how big it is, and how easy it is to get to, through a side gate, over a wall, or from the front of the property. Mention anything nearby that needs protecting, such as a greenhouse, conservatory, pond, overhead cables or a neighbour's fence. If you already know or suspect the tree is protected, say so, but either way Todd will check for a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area before any work is agreed.
On the day
Todd arrives when he says he will, something customers mention again and again in reviews. The work area is set up first, with anything fragile protected and people and pets kept clear of where cutting is happening. The 24/7 storm damage work is then carried out exactly as described in your quote. If anything unexpected turns up once work begins, such as hidden decay, Todd will talk it through with you before going any further; nothing is added without your say-so.
After the work
Brash, clippings and timber are cleared away and the area is raked and left tidy, so you're not spending your weekend clearing up. If you'd like to keep logs from the job, just ask when you book. Todd will also give you straightforward advice on aftercare and on when the tree or hedge is likely to need attention again, so you can plan ahead rather than waiting for a problem. Want another tree looked at while he's there? Just mention it.
