Highlights
"Seb & his crew were friendly, polite, respectful, prompt & hard working. They completed the work, (crown reductions & thinning), within the time frame & even put up a bat box, which was handmade by one of their team. They left the garden tidy and were considerate of our neighbours' gardens as well. We are very pleased with the finished result. The trees are greatly improved & are a better shape & overall condition. We have already recommended them to others. Thank you, to all of you."
"Excellent communication throughout, fantastic and conscientious work finishing with clearing up and leaving site immaculate following an excellent job completed. Cannot recommend Batsons enough, you can contract them with confidence of a job well done"
"I found the firm on Checkatrade and after exchanging a few emails someone from the firm called at my home to look at the job and see what I required doing. After receiving a detailed estimate of cost I confirmed a date for the work to be done. The team turned up on time and did the work exactly as I required. They were very professional and efficient and I would thoroughly recommend them."

Smart checks
Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
