Owen Allpress - Independent Arboricultural Consultant. BS5837 Tree Surveys & Planning Advice.

On my property there were 2 trees showing signs of stress, both were subject to preservation orders, an initial application for their removal was refused by the local authority after a significant wait. I contacted Owen Allpress for advice as I believed them to be in a dangerous condition, he visited and identified some specific problems, produced a detailed report and resubmitted it to the local council on my behalf. Within 3 weeks permission to remove both trees was granted. Very impressive.! I am sure his professional knowledge and approach made the difference. Great communication, and very efficient.

I was given Owen Allpress's details from a relative who had reported an excellent experience using his services. Our architect requested an arboricultural survey at relatively short notice, and Owen was able to accommodate our needs most efficiently.He was entirely happy to travel to mid-Hampshire, conducting a comprehensive survey at a very reasonable price, subsequently compiling a report satisfying all the requirements of the architect.Our architect did not previously know Owen and will, in future, suggest his services based on this project.A thoroughly reliable, efficient and friendly service: one I am happy to wholeheartedly endorse.

Owen dealt with the trees as part of our recent planning application. Quick turn around on written reports. Clearly knows his stuff.

Owen provided a great service, was extremely professional and responsive. Would highly recommend Owen if you require an arboricultural survey.

My customers are very happy with Owen. We are a small architectural practice and any tree surveys or reports required as part of a planning application we get Owen involved . He is most efficient and has very good communication skills and very experienced.

At very short notice we needed an arborist's report to satisfy a requirement from Council. Owen appreciated our predicament and worked to fit in with our tight schedule. He understood the issues very well and knew what council were looking for. He arrived at the time promised. While dealing with the issues upon which Council required an opinion, Owen pointed out a potentially dangerous and costly problem with one of our trees that overhung a busy road. He helped find a tree surgeon and arranged a visit for the next day. Owen's advice was accurate and helped us with Council. We highly recommend Owen and will use him again when the need arises.

Owen has produced the arboricultural information for me on a number of projects which he has delivered quickly and efficiently with no issues. Owen also understands the financial constraints of my clients, thinks innovatively about the solutions and does not blindly follow the standards. This is what I require and I will continue to work closely with Owen in the future.

Owen has provided fantastic arboricultural assistance with our project to date. He is professional and knowledgeable, and also approachable, efficient and pragmatic making him a pleasure to work with. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.

Fantastic service. Owen is very approachable and accommodating – providing a detailed arboriculture impact assessment to address a planning condition.In addition, Owen conducted a drone survey – providing aerial imaging and mapping. This provided us with a unique view for positioning, scale and design which wouldn’t otherwise have been possible.Would highly recommend.
