A fallen tree can be overwhelming — but knowing what to do next is key to keeping your property and family safe. Here’s your step-by-step guide to handling a tree fall, whether it’s caused by high winds, rot, or an accident.

Main Points:

1. Stay Clear and Assess from a Distance
   Never approach a fallen tree, especially if it’s near power lines. Look for visible damage and keep children/pets away.
2. Check for Structural Damage
   Look for roof or fence damage, broken branches, or root upheaval. Take photos for insurance purposes.
3. Contact a Professional Tree Surgeon Immediately
   Clearcut offers 24/7 emergency tree surgery in Dorset & Hampshire. We safely dismantle and remove fallen trees without further damage.
4. Notify Your Insurer if Needed
   Your home insurance may cover damage caused by fallen trees — especially during storms. Keep a record of damage and work done.
5. Consider Preventative Tree Inspections
   If one tree has fallen, others nearby may be at risk. Ask about our tree health assessments to reduce future problems.
