Anything involving a ladder, a chainsaw above the ground, or a branch that could hit something. That covers most of it.
Any work involving climbing, chainsaws at height, branches over a building or boundary, or a tree that could damage something coming down.
Also any tree showing signs of structural problems — fungal brackets, a new lean, cracks, or limbs shedding without a storm.

Any work involving climbing, chainsaws above ground level, branches over a building or boundary, or a tree that could damage something coming down.
Fungal brackets on the trunk or base, a sudden lean with soil lifting, cracks or splits, limbs shedding without a storm, and cavities at a fork.
Light pruning from the ground with both feet on it, small trees within easy reach, removing suckers, and clearing your own arisings. Not from a ladder.
Either can for a normal garden hedge. A very tall or badly overgrown hedge is closer to tree work.
Whether they are insured for tree work at height and to see the certificate, what qualifications the climbers hold, whether they have checked for a TPO, and exactly what they will remove.
Usually because it is for a different job — the same work without insurance, without proper assessment, or without checking whether the tree is protected.
They generally indicate decay inside the tree. It does not always mean removal, but it does mean the tree should be assessed properly.
Walk round it twice a year, once in leaf and once bare. Look at the base for brackets and lifting soil, look up for deadwood and cracks.
