We were called out over the Easter weekend for an emergency tree removal in Burnage, Manchester, following severe weather caused by Storm Dave, which brought winds reaching up to 93mph.
A large Ash tree had failed under the extreme conditions, causing significant disruption and damage in a residential area.
Storm Damage Incident in Burnage
The fallen tree caused serious issues on-site, including:
- Blocking the road completely
- Damage to two vehicles
- Impact to a nearby property
- Broken fencing
- Damage to street lighting
- Interference with telephone lines
The incident gained attention locally and was even featured by Manchester Evening News due to the scale of the damage and disruption.
Emergency Response on Easter Sunday
Despite the timing, our team responded quickly and attended the site on Easter Sunday to make the area safe.
This type of work requires careful planning, especially when dealing with:
- Heavy timber across roads and vehicles
- Live hazards such as cables and street infrastructure
- Working in a residential area with limited access
Our priority was to secure the site, remove immediate risks and restore safe access for residents and vehicles.
Safe Dismantling & Clearance
The tree had split and collapsed across multiple areas, meaning it had to be dismantled in sections. Using professional equipment, we:
- Cut and removed large sections of the trunk
- Cleared branches from vehicles and surrounding areas
- Processed timber safely on-site
- Removed debris and ensured the road was clear
The job required efficient teamwork to complete safely and quickly, especially given the extent of the damage.
Making the Area Safe
Once the tree was fully cleared, we ensured:
- The road was reopened
- Hazards were removed
- The surrounding area was left safe and manageable
Situations like this highlight the importance of acting quickly after storm damage to prevent further risk.
