    A Tree Just Came Down. What Now?

    Take these five steps first. They keep you safe and make the removal faster.

    Keep everyone clear

    A leaning or fallen tree can shift without warning. Move people and pets well away from the area.

    Treat every power line as live

    If any lines are involved, stay well back and report the hazard to your electricity provider immediately.

    Do not cut it yourself

    Storm damaged trees are often under tension. Cutting them without training is how serious accidents happen.

    Call 076 231 4998

    Our emergency line is answered 24/7, day and night, right through the year.

    Photograph the damage

    Once it is safe to do so, photos help your insurance claim and speed up our assessment.

    24/7 Emergency Tree Services in Randburg

    Emergency tree felling is the urgent removal of a tree that has already failed or is about to. It is different from planned tree felling: the tree is often under tension, leaning against something fragile, or tangled in structures and cables. That is work for a crew that does it week in and week out, with the right rigging, protective gear and insurance in place.

    Tree Wise Tree Felling has answered emergency calls across Randburg and greater Gauteng for over 15 years. Our rapid response team takes down storm damaged trees section by section, clears the debris, and leaves your property safe, at any hour of the day or night. Every job is supervised by the owner and quoted as a fixed price before work starts.

    Emergency Work We Handle

    From single hanging limbs to whole trees on a roof. Every job is supervised by the owner and carried out in full safety gear, with climbing, crane assistance or a bucket truck where the tree demands it.

    Storm damaged trees

    Trees split, lifted or thrown by high winds, safely taken down in sections.

    Trees on structures

    Trees fallen on homes, vehicles, walls or fences, removed with minimum further damage.

    Hanging branches

    Dangerous limbs cracked and hanging over roofs, driveways or play areas.

    Leaning trees

    Trees destabilised after storms or saturated ground, assessed and removed before they fall.

    Root damage

    Roots lifting walls, paving or foundations, with removal and stump grinding.

    Site safety clearance

    Debris cleared so your property is safe to move around again.

    Storm Damage, Insurance and Cost

    If a tree has damaged your home, photograph everything before anything is moved, then notify your insurer. Many home insurance policies cover damage caused by fallen trees, so confirm the excess and process with them directly. We provide the fixed quote and invoice you need for the claim.
