Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the things we get asked most.
Which areas do you cover?
Our initial service area is Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Send, Ripley, and East and West Horsley, outside the M25. Include your location when you enquire so we can confirm whether the work is within our service area.
What work can I enquire about?
Tree surgery, tree removal, pruning, pollarding, hedge cutting and garden clearance. Describe the problem you want to solve if you are not sure which service name fits.
How can I make a real enquiry while this site is in preview?
The staging contact form accepts labelled test enquiries only. Use fictional job details; it does not request a quote or callback. For real enquiries, use canopycare.uk or call 01483 904 954.
What information should I include?
Include your location, the work you have in mind, your preferred contact method and any access restrictions. Approximate sizes and photographs taken safely from the ground can help; do not climb or approach damaged branches to obtain them.
When should I expect a reply?
As soon as possible, normally within 24 hours. Enquiries are covered Monday–Saturday and Sarah handles the initial response. This is an expectation rather than a guaranteed response time.
What if my call is not answered?
We may be working when you call. Leave a voicemail with your name, number and a brief description of the work so we can get back to you. Calling does not guarantee immediate attendance.
Do I need to know the exact type of pruning?
No. Explain what you want to change and anything that concerns you about the tree. Pruning, pollarding and removal are different options, so it is better to describe the objective than guess a technical term.
What should I do about tree permissions or restrictions?
Tell us about any known protection, boundary issues or other restrictions when you enquire. Relevant permission questions need to be checked before work is agreed; do not assume that owning a tree means every proposed change can go ahead.
Can I see examples of previous work?
The gallery contains selected before-and-after images carried over from the previous Canopy Care website. They illustrate individual jobs, rather than promising the same result for every tree or garden.
Can you quote a price from this page?
The service pages do not give fixed prices. Describe the work, location and access so the scope and appropriate next step can be discussed before a quote is agreed.
