During winter storms in the UK, trees can pose significant risks, particularly to commercial properties. High winds and heavy snowfall may weaken branches or even cause entire trees to fall, potentially damaging buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure — and posing a risk to life.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, the combination of severe weather and poor tree health can significantly increase the likelihood of tree failure, making it vital for property owners to stay informed about the condition of trees on their land (HSE, 2023).
Wind loading and increased movement during storms may exacerbate any structural weaknesses within a tree. A Tree Condition Report is essential for identifying such weaknesses. It offers valuable insights into the health and stability of trees on commercial premises, helping to reduce the risk of incidents and minimise insurance liabilities.
