Tree Consultancy Group is an independent arboricultural practice which carries out professional tree surveys for safety and risk management throughout southern Scotland.
We have over 40 years’ experience of carrying out tree safety surveys for a wide range of commercial and private clients to ensure compliance with their statutory duty of care - identifying any trees where it is reasonably foreseeable that harm or damage may arise due to their condition and recommending appropriate works to reduce or eliminate the risk.
We provide:
- Tree safety surveys (VTA surveys).
- Tree risk assessment and management advice in accordance with HSE and National Tree Safety Group guidance.
- Duty of Care surveys to comply with The Occupiers’ Liability (Scotland) Act 1960 and The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
- Expert Witness representation for clients involved in litigation.
We do not carry out tree work (tree surgery) or felling ourselves, and are not connected to any firm of contractors. We therefore have no financial incentive to specify unnecessary work to clients’ trees.
Our clients include local authorities, government departments, utility companies, councils, charities, private estates, housing and residents associations, solicitors, insurers, property owners, managers, and private householders.
For clients' peace of mind, we maintain £1 million Professional Indemnity insurance cover with AXA Insurance UK Plc.
