We are often called
out to help with storm damage. Houses losing their roof, trees across
roads, trees fallen on to houses or cars, powerlines down and flooding
are among the types of incidents we deal with. There are added complications
such as traffic hazards, dangers to the public and injuries all of which
have to be dealt with in often extremely hard weather conditions.
This car sustained moderate damage when this tree fell on it, our crews used a chainsaw to remove the large branch.
The weight and force of a tree falling can cause major structural damage to a house. We remove the tree and secure the building and its roof to prevent further danger and weatherproof the building until repairs can be made.

If we can at least keep a damaged roof secure to prevent further injuries or stop rain entering the house we can hopefully limit the damage done and keep the house safe for occupation until insurance assessment and repairs can be made.
A seemingly straight forward fallen tree becomes a deadly hazard when it brings electricity cables down. These cables were 'live' and created a dangerous environment not only to touch the cables but also the metal fence, tree and even the surrounding wet ground. A hidden danger to unwary people.
