We were asked by one of our commercial clients to attend a sixth form college in Hartlepool following some high winds. There’d been a report of a large fracture at the base of the tree. Storm-damaged trees like this are handled by our emergency tree surgeon team. On arrival our Professional Tree Inspector, Simon, found the two main stems had began to part at a bark included union.

Having confirmed the situation, and assessed the required resources the site was cordoned off by the school. As soon as the wind levels dropped our teams were able to attend with a MEWP and safely remove the tree without putting any climbers at risk.
