School Tree Surveys and School Tree Tests in Croydon, Sutton and the Surrounding Areas
Schools, and other educational facilities, have the legal obligation to fulfil their duties of care by ensuring trees on grounds are safe and well-managed. Irrespective of how many trees are situated on the site, the school, or the establishment, is responsible for how often they are inspected, monitored and maintained to control their risks.
W.J. Kent Tree Consultants Ltd can undertake school tree surveys and school tree tests using the skillsets of its time-served personnel.
Individual areas covered by our company include:
Banstead | Caterham | Coulsdon | Croydon | Epsom | Purley | Redhill | Reigate | Sanderstead | Sutton | Warlingham | Whyteleafe | Surrey
We also specialise in tree decay tests and tree stability tests.
Scheduled inspections allow consultants to identify decay or defects and deteriorating tree health. Schools and other facilities can call in W.J. Kent Tree Consultants Ltd to address arboricultural issues at the right time. Our school tree surveys and school tree tests, provide detailed evidence that organisations are safeguarding their pupils, their staff, visitors to their site and the local community.
Led by Innovation
Using technology-driven tree management systems, we give schools the oversights needed to fulfil their duties of care. Our personnel can map data to create digital records which are simple to maintain. An inspection is completed through digital forms, so information can be instantly captured, then securely stored, to create an audit trail.
This makes HSE and insurance reviews easier to oversee.
School tree surveys and school tree tests reduce administration, and this makes compliance less of a reactive paperwork exercise and more of a proactive tree management strategy that is especially suited to educational facilities in the South West London and Surrey areas.
Safety Audits, Inventories and Schedules
Furthermore, tree surveys act as an early indication system, for the school’s key stakeholders, so that risk can be managed at reasonable levels. Our involvement in a project allows schools to demonstrate a duty of care to its pupils, staff and those visiting the premises.
Digital tree inventories and prioritised maintenance schedules allow a contractor to manage trees efficiently, and in a logical sequence. Our recommendations focus strictly on actions that mitigate risk and help a school to avoid expenditure on work that offers no benefits.
Using advanced software, and surveying tools, we collect information and produce digital maps and reports. If a defect needs examination, we utilise modern decay detection equipment to evaluate the internal condition and structural integrity of all trees sat on school land.
Tree Assessments
Schools, colleges or educational facilities from Banstead, Caterham, Coulsdon, Croydon, Epsom, Purley, Redhill, Reigate, Sanderstead, Sutton, Warlingham, Whyteleafe and the surrounding South London and Surrey areas should consider booking in for school tree surveys and school tree tests whenever there are foreseeable risks on the site.
If trees are located near to playgrounds, playing fields, entrances, footpaths or staff and visitor car parks, an assessment investigates for cavities, deadwood, fallen branches, fungal growth and decay.
Surveys and tests for schools comply with BS 5837:2012.
