Let’s be straight about what “nationwide” means here, because the phrase is usually a lie on contractor websites. Silver Tree Services is a Gloucestershire business: 30+ staff, seven teams, one yard at Shurdington near Cheltenham. We don’t have regional depots, and we won’t invent them for a web page. What we do have is the capability to deliver contract work anywhere in the UK where the work justifies mobilising properly: multi-site portfolios, programmed tree works, survey programmes, and clearance projects, planned as scheduled campaigns rather than passing trade.
What travels well
- Multi-site grounds and tree portfolios, a national or regional client's sites delivered to one specification, one standard, and one consolidated invoice, instead of a patchwork of local subcontractors of varying quality
- Programmed tree works, planned reduction, removal, and management campaigns delivered as scheduled site visits
- Tree survey programmes, duty-of-care surveys across an estate of sites, with consistent methodology and reporting
- Site and vegetation clearance, development and infrastructure clearance delivered as mobilised projects
- Specialist and sector work, where our healthcare, public sector, and heritage experience is the reason we're being asked
What doesn't, and we'll say so
One-off small jobs hundreds of miles away don’t make sense for you or us, and we’ll tell you that on the first call rather than quote silly money and hope. The honest test is simple: if the work supports proper mobilisation, multi-day visits, recurring schedules, or multiple sites per trip, national delivery works and prices sensibly. If it doesn’t, we’ll say a good local contractor is the better answer, because it is.
Why clients consolidate with us
National and multi-region clients usually come to us tired of the alternative: dozens of local contractors, dozens of insurance certificates to chase, inconsistent standards, and no single point of accountability when a site embarrasses them. One contractor means one set of accreditations, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ARB Approved Contractor status, SMAS SSIP, one RAMS library, one account manager, one invoice format your finance team stops complaining about, and crews whose standard is set by contracts for the NHS, Gloucestershire Police, Stroud District Council, and Savills.
How it works
Send the site list or the programme. We’ll assess the geography honestly, propose a delivery model, scheduled campaign visits, regional clustering, response arrangements for reactive needs, and price it in writing. Mobilisation, access arrangements, and reporting are agreed before day one, and the contract gets a named contact who knows your sites, not a call centre.
Why choose Silver Tree Services
Silver Tree Services has traded for over 20 years from Shurdington, Cheltenham, with 30+ qualified staff across seven specialist teams, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification, ARB Approved Contractor status, and SMAS SSIP accreditation. Crews are NPTC-certificated with IPAF and CSCS where work requires it, RAMS are produced per site, DBS-checked operatives are available for sensitive settings, and public and employers’ liability insurance covers every job. The client list, NHS, Gloucestershire Police, Stroud District Council, Savills, the Church of England, is the vetting evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions About Nationwide Contracts
Frequently asked.
Do you really work nationwide?
For the right work, yes, and we’re honest about what that means. Silver Tree Services operates from one Gloucestershire base, not a depot network, and delivers UK-wide through scheduled campaign visits: multi-site portfolios, programmed tree works, survey programmes, and clearance projects where proper mobilisation makes the geography work. One-off small jobs at distance don’t stack up, and we’ll say so on the first call rather than quote them badly.
How do you deliver a multi-site contract across the country?
By clustering and scheduling rather than commuting. Sites are grouped geographically, visits are planned as multi-day campaigns covering each cluster, and the programme is published so site contacts know when crews arrive. Silver Tree Services delivers every site to one specification with one RAMS framework, photographic completion reporting where clients want remote assurance, and consolidated invoicing mapped to your cost centres, which is precisely what a patchwork of local subcontractors can’t give you.
What accreditations do you bring to national contracts?
ISO 9001 quality management and ISO 14001 environmental management, ARB Approved Contractor status from the Arboricultural Association, SMAS SSIP health and safety accreditation, NPTC-certificated operators, IPAF access licences, CSCS cards for construction environments, and public and employers’ liability insurance. One set of compliance documents covers every site on the contract, replacing the certificate-chasing that multi-contractor arrangements inflict on facilities teams.
Can you handle reactive callouts on distant sites?
Honestly: planned work is our national strength, and reactive response at distance has physics no contractor can charm away. For national contracts Silver Tree Services agrees reactive arrangements up front, response windows that reflect real geography, make-safe protocols, and where appropriate vetted local partners for genuine emergencies with our team managing quality and paperwork. What you won’t get is a promised two-hour response from 150 miles away that everyone knows is fiction.
Who are your existing contract clients?
Silver Tree Services delivers contracts for the NHS, Gloucestershire Constabulary, Worcestershire County Council, Savills, Kohler Mira, Redrow Homes, Berkeley Parks, Dorchester Living, the Church of England, and the Bugatti Owners Club at Prescott Speed Hill Climb, and more. Those clients set the operating standard, public sector audit, healthcare vetting, live industrial site discipline, managing agent reporting, and heritage care, that travels onto every job we take on. References and capability documentation are available for serious enquiries: call 01242 472560 or request a capability pack.
What's the minimum size for a national contract to make sense?
There’s no fixed figure, but the test is whether visits can be efficient: multiple sites per trip, multi-day programmes, or recurring schedules that justify mobilisation. A ten-site portfolio across two regions works beautifully; a single small site in Carlisle doesn’t, and Silver Tree Services will tell you which yours is before any money moves. Send the site list and specification and the answer comes back straight, with numbers.
