My advice would be to take the plants carefully out of their containers and untwizzle a few roots of they are near the sides then add fresh ericaceous compost at the bottom and sides not on top.

I agree, top up underneath instead. If you put it on top, the stem could quite easily rot. The stems on fruit trees don't put out roots in the same way a tomato stem would do, if that makes sense.

With trees the root flare needs to be exposed or they will slowly rot, bark is not able to protect against soil born bacteria.
