It does really depend on the type of disease the affected tree has. Some infectious diseases spread from root to root contact whilst others airborne. Usually, healthy trees are strong enough to fend off diseases attacks.

When making an appointment with an ARB Approved Contractor clients should tell the contractor whether advice on trees is needed, or if a specification for works already exists against which the contractor’s quotation is required.

Clients are advised to get more than one estimate or quotation for the purpose of comparison but do remember that price is only one factor in selecting a service provider.

Estimates or quotations will usually be provided free of charge when quoting against a specification, however, a fee may be charged if any advisory work is needed. Clients are advised to be clear with the contractor from the outset.

When asking for an estimate or quotation indicate when you would like the work done. The contractor will let you know whether or not this is practical or possible

Respond to estimates or quotations quickly – do try to ell the contractor within 7-10 days whether or not you wish them to do the work and make clear the terms of acceptance

First, make sure the tree isn't protected by any TPOs or Covenants.
