Tree Surgeon
Tree Surgeon Business Documents — Essential
A tree surgeon winning the first private fell and crown-reduction jobs needs paperwork in the cab before the first harness is buckled on — not the full arb fleet, just the records that back up a site survey, consent to work, and a signed-off job. This Essentials kit for a tree surgeon carries five documents: client registration with property details, consent and liability waiver, service agreement terms and conditions, a job record card, and the GDPR privacy notice. All five arrive as PDFs with a fillable header — your tree surgery business name sits at the top, you print or save, and the site folder looks like a tree surgeon who records the job before the first cut. Cleaner than a quote on the back of a business card, calmer than arguing over which branches were meant to come down.

Business Documents — Premium
A tree surgeon's work lives between domestic gardens, commercial estates and local authority contracts - and the paperwork has to carry TPO checks, site risk and handover photos all in one set the council can accept without coming back for more revisions a week later. LaunchKit Premium for a tree surgeon covers all 18 business documents as interactive fillable PDF plus editable Word. Site survey, TPO application support, risk assessment and method statement fill in on a tablet at the job, and the customer terms, subcontractor agreement, commercial contract, feedback form and complaint procedure rebrand in Word with your tree surgery business name, Arb Association reference and branding. Waste disposal record, aftercare sheet, insurance declaration and GDPR notice match in tone. Two formats from one download - the tree surgeon's paperwork meets the council standard.
Startup Guide
Setting up as a tree surgeon means handling business registration, public liability insurance written for arboricultural work, TPO and conservation-area checks before any work begins, LOLER inspection of climbing and rigging equipment, chainsaw competency (CS30/31/38 routes), aerial rescue cover requirements, wildlife law (bats, nesting birds), and Forestry Commission felling licence considerations for larger work. This guide covers business setup, insurance, the practical realities of pricing per job versus day rate, chip and waste disposal, building reliable contractor relationships, and the first-90-days checklist for going from qualified climber to running your own jobs safely.
Pricing Calculator — Premium
Tree surgeons who quote per tree — without putting access, climbing, chipping and disposal time into the number — leave the real work unpriced on every job. This Premium pricing calculator rebuilds the tariff. Eleven services come pre-loaded — tree felling and removal, crown reduction, thinning and lifting, hedge cutting, stump grinding, tree planting, BS5837 tree surveys and reports, emergency storm damage call-outs, woodchip and firewood sales, site clearance, tree preservation order applications, and ecological bat and bird surveys — each with editable on-site hours, disposal cost and access surcharge. Enter your hourly rate once and every service rebuilds with margin shown alongside. A quote builder handles multi-tree and commercial work, a job log tracks every visit, an expenses tracker keeps fuel and disposal spend visible, and a monthly dashboard shows which jobs actually pay. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK tree surgeons — price with confidence.
