Fast Action Can Save Your Property and Your Safety
Storms can strike hard across Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Nambucca Heads, and Coffs Harbour — often leaving behind dangerous tree damage. If a tree has fallen or is hanging precariously after strong winds or lightning, here’s exactly what to do to stay safe and take control of the situation.
Step 1: Stay Safe — Don’t Approach the Tree
After a storm:
• Don’t touch or walk under damaged branches
• Keep pets and people away from the area
• Look for downed power lines and report them immediately
Even if the tree “looks stable,” broken limbs and root damage can cause sudden collapse hours later.
Step 2: Document the Damage
Before any cleanup, take photos of:
• Fallen branches
• Roof or fence damage
• Blocked driveways or roads
• Uprooted roots or leaning trunks
This is crucial for insurance and council reports.
Step 3: Call a 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal Specialist
Time is critical. We recommend calling a qualified arborist, not a general handyman, because:
• They’re trained to assess risk
• They have the equipment for safe removal
• They’re fully insured — protecting you from liability
Langham’s Tree Services offers 24/7 emergency tree removal across the Mid North Coast.

Do You Need Council Approval for Emergency Work?

We can help you:
• Prepare photo evidence
• Notify the council post-removal if needed
• Provide a written arborist report for insurance
