Emergency Tree Felling Roodepoort
When a tree comes down in Roodepoort — on a roof, vehicle, driveway or boundary wall — minutes matter. Our standby crew targets a 60-minute arrival inside Roodepoort, day or night. Generator-powered saws, climbing gear and chipper truck on every call.
24/7 Emergency Tree Removal in Roodepoort, done properly
Emergency tree removal in Roodepoort is a phone call away on 078 600 6367 — answered 24/7, no voicemail. We make the site safe first (release pressure off whatever the tree landed on), then dismantle and clear it on the same visit when possible.
After a Highveld storm, two things matter: making your property safe, and getting the tree off whatever it landed on before more damage happens. Our emergency line is answered at 2 AM the same as 2 PM — no voicemail routing.
We bring a generator-powered chainsaw kit, climbing gear, rigging ropes and the chipper truck. Insurance documentation is supplied on-site for your claim.
What we see on Roodepoort jobs specifically
On Roodepoort jobs specifically we work mostly on 1960s–90s middle-income homes across Florida, Constantia Kloof, Wilropark and the new Ruimsig cluster developments. The trees we see most often are Plane tree, Pine, Jacaranda, Bluegum and Pin oak. Access is varied — Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls have ridge access issues, central Florida is wide-open. The recurring issue: Roodepoort ridge granite makes stump grinding harder than the East Rand — we hand-excavate around rocky stumps.
Tree species we work with in Roodepoort
Plane tree, Pine, Jacaranda, Bluegum, Pin oak and indigenous specimens are the most common species on Roodepoort jobs — each fails differently and needs its own approach.

When to call us in Roodepoort — emergency tree scenarios
Not sure if it's an emergency? If you've got any of the situations below in Roodepoort, call 078 600 6367 straight away. Answered 24/7, no voicemail.
Tree fallen on roof or structure
Water ingress, electrical hazards and load-bearing damage escalate within hours. Highest priority. We arrive with rigging gear and tarps to make safe before the next squall.
Critical — call nowTree contacting Eskom / City Power lines
Life-threatening. Do not approach the tree, the soil or any metal fence touching it. Call Eskom 0860 037 566 AND 078 600 6367 simultaneously — our crew is trained in power-line proximity protocols.
Critical — call Eskom + usStorm damage — broken branches & split trees
Gauteng's October–March thunderstorm season. Lightning-split trunks, hanging limbs over walkways, multi-stem failures after high winds. Even a 'stable-looking' branch can fall without warning.
High urgencySeverely leaning tree after heavy rain
Saturated Highveld clay loses anchor capacity fast. A tree that's visibly leaning more than yesterday is in imminent collapse — assess and remove urgently.
High urgency — same dayTree fallen on a vehicle
We cut and remove section-by-section to minimise additional bodywork damage. Photograph everything first; our invoice supports your motor claim.
High urgencyFallen tree blocking driveway, gate or road
Critical for emergency-vehicle access and home security. Same-day clearance across Kempton Park, East Rand, Johannesburg, Pretoria and the wider Gauteng service area.
Urgent — same dayDead or diseased tree near a structure
Dead trees collapse without warning — especially after rain adds weight to brittle wood. If it's within falling distance of anything that matters, it must come down.

Questions Roodepoort homeowners ask
Can you handle trees near Eskom or City Power lines in Roodepoort?
Yes. Where a tree is touching live lines we coordinate a temporary disconnect at no admin charge to you. Most Roodepoort suburbs we've worked in have predictable line layouts so we can plan the cut in advance.
Do you give a guarantee on the work?
Yes — clean-up to your satisfaction or we come back, and any planted replacement is guaranteed for 12 months excluding negligence. The quote you sign is the price you pay; no surprise extras.
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Yes — R5-million Public Liability plus workers' compensation cover. Ask any contractor for their COID letter before they climb; we hand ours over on request.
What do you do with the wood?
Hardwood logs can stay for your fireplace, or we haul them away. Branches go through the chipper — chips are yours for mulch, or we take them. Nothing goes to landfill; green waste is composted.
Will neighbours be affected during the job in Roodepoort?
Some noise from the chipper for 1–3 hours and (rarely) a brief blockage of a shared driveway. We notify adjoining neighbours the day before any major Roodepoort job and finish well within daytime working hours.
Do I call insurance first or you?
Call us first — making the site safe stops the claim from getting bigger. We supply documentation for the claim. (Applies in Roodepoort and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
What does an after-hours callout cost?
Standard callout R1,800; after-hours adds 35–60% depending on time. Full quote confirmed before any work starts. (Applies in Roodepoort and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
Can you tarp my roof?
Yes, emergency tarping while you wait for the roofer. (Applies in Roodepoort and across our wider Johannesburg service area.)
