Tree Surveys for Offices & Business Parks — Greater Manchester, Lancashire & Cheshire
Urban Tree Management provides tree risk assessments and management programmes for offices, business parks, and commercial estates across the North West.
Our clients include Radbroke Hall in Knutsford — a 64-acre corporate campus — and MediaCity UK in Salford, one of the UK's most significant media and technology campuses, as well as Peel Group across their extensive North West commercial portfolio.
What Commercial Estate Clients Need
Commercial estates have significant tree populations in car parks, formal grounds, and public realm areas — all requiring regular professional assessment. With staff, visitors, and contractors on site throughout the working week, the duty of care to manage tree risk is a core facilities management and ESG obligation in 2026.
Ongoing Tree Management Programmes
Most commercial estate clients are on a cyclical inspection programme tailored to the site — giving continuous duty of care compliance and predictable, budgetable tree management. We track each site's reinspection date and integrate with your facilities management system, so tree safety records are always current for audits, insurers, and ESG reporting.
Available on a Retained Basis
Commercial estates are best managed on a retained programme — cyclical inspections across all sites, tracked reinspection dates, priority response, and fixed annual budgeting that integrates with your facilities management. One contact, one predictable annual figure, ideal for property managers and estates with multiple sites.

FAQ
Do commercial landlords and businesses need tree surveys?
Yes — commercial property owners and occupiers have the same duty of care under the Occupiers' Liability Acts as any landowner. With staff, visitors, and vehicles on site, regular inspection is the recognised way to manage foreseeable tree risk and demonstrate compliance.
How does tree management fit with ESG reporting?
A documented tree management programme supports ESG and biodiversity reporting — evidencing responsible stewardship of the green infrastructure on your estate, alongside the safety and compliance benefits.
Can you integrate with our facilities management system?
Yes — we provide GPS-mapped tree inventories and digital reporting that integrate with FM systems, giving facilities teams a clear, auditable record.
How often should commercial estate trees be inspected?
Typically every 12 to 24 months depending on the trees and site use, with additional inspections after severe weather. We recommend and track the interval for you.
Tree Surveyors Who Can Help With Your Commercial Property
Commercial property owners and facilities managers have the same legal duty of care as any other landowner when it comes to trees on their property — and the combination of high footfall, vehicle movement, and reputational risk makes professionally documented tree risk management particularly important in a commercial setting.
