A tree was badly pruned by Special Branch Tree Services and when the bill was queried I was threatened with debt collectors. I reported this to Trading Standards.
Another company surveyed the tree and reported that as there was extensive bark damage and the main leader branch had been removed the tree would not recover and recommended that the tree be removed.
Mr Mabey, owner of SBTS, was sent the report and refuted all the findings and refused to consider compensation
Response from Special Branch Tree Services dated the 14th January 2016.
The tree works carried out, where in accordance with the instructions received from Mrs Smith.
The site was re-attended to re- prune the tree after a complaint was received form Mrs Smith, expressing that the tree had not been pruned correctly.
The tree was re-pruned for the second time under the supervision of Mrs Smith.
No extra charge was invoiced for second return to site. No threats were ever made to Mrs Smith.
No compensation was offered as the works were carried out in accordance with detailed quote & under Mrs Smiths instructions.
