Access is the whole question. Send a photograph of the route from the gate to the stump, including any steps and their approximate width. It determines which machine can come and therefore what the job costs.
This page is about stump grinding here specifically — the ground, the plots and the access that shape how the work is done, in a town where everything is carried up or down a slope, and which direction changes the price.

Grinding in Bushey Ground
A grinder meets the soil as much as the stump, and here that soil is London clay on the slopes, which moves and creeps on the steeper gardens. Stones, flint and old hardcore are what stop a grind short and blunt teeth, so on London clay on the slopes, which moves and creeps on the steeper gardens what surrounds the stump matters as much as the stump when the job is priced.
Where the Stumps Are in Bushey
Stumps here turn up among gardens that run up or down away from the house rather than level, with terracing, steps and retaining walls, which usually tells us their size and their age before we see them. On gardens that run up or down away from the house rather than level, with terracing, steps and retaining walls there is very often more than one, and several in a visit is far better value than one at a time.
Reaching the Stump in Bushey
Access here is the road is usually at one end and the garden at the other, vertically, and stump grinding is the one service where that is a question of possibility rather than price — a grinder is a wheeled machine that has to physically reach the stump. Because everything is carried up or down a slope, and which direction changes the price, the measurement worth taking before you enquire is the narrowest gate on the route.
What the Grindings Do to Bushey Soil
A ground stump leaves a hole full of chippings, and on London clay on the slopes, which moves and creeps on the steeper gardens that matters more than people expect — fresh wood draws nitrogen out of the soil around it while it breaks down. Where a lawn or planting is going in afterwards among gardens that run up or down away from the house rather than level, with terracing, steps and retaining walls, the grindings come out and clean topsoil goes back.

Stump Grinding in Bushey — Common Questions
Do Tree Masters cover Bushey?

What affects the price of stump grinding in Bushey?
Access, more than anything else. Here it is the road is usually at one end and the garden at the other, vertically, and on a stump grinding job that decides how much of the work is hand labour rather than machine time.
Can you do other work at the same visit?
Yes, and among gardens that run up or down away from the house rather than level, with terracing, steps and retaining walls it usually makes sense to. Most of the cost of any visit is getting a team and a vehicle to an address where access is the road is usually at one end and the garden at the other, vertically, so booking stump grinding alongside other work costs considerably less than two separate trips.
What should I send with an enquiry?
For stump grinding, photographs plus the width of the narrowest point on the way in — and because everything is carried up or down a slope, and which direction changes the price, those two answers are what turn a provisional figure into an accurate one.
