If you look at my FB in February this year

They removed in sections with ropes caused no drama and carried up 40 Stairs £400

I thought it would be £1200 ish. When he said £400 all in I snap called

He said he would get 4 ton of timber logs to sell for £165 a ton

i live just outside Southampton so bit far to travel to look really, although it's not out of the question if we could come to an arrangement on my travel costs.
i have been in the game over 20yrs so know a little bit : )
pretty sure you will get a cheaper quote but i'd advise strongly that you see the insurance of whom ever you use, not to rush in and use the cheapest guy as cheap isn't always best .
from what you have described already this sounds like it's not a straight forward job, also the tree may be unstable and in an unsafe state.
and finally please make sure that you have the relevant approval from your local council tree preservation inspector otherwise you will find you may be liable to a rather nasty fine even though from what you have said the tree clearly needs attention .
i'm sure that once you have had half a dozen or so quotes you will be a lot wiser after all the free advice. GL  : )

The vegetation report mentioned some fungal disease and the guy today alluded to the fact the roots could be diseased and he certainly saw it as unsafe. If it's not already unsafe it's heading there quickly as the ground is quite disturbed and the tree has listed to one side.


I would really value some advice from someone I 'know'. If you PM'd me what you think would be your travel costs I'd almost certainly go for it, especilly if you could come tomorrow !

If there is a TPO on it Glenn, there is an easy way around that. The TPO is usually invalid if the tree happens to be diseased.

LOL @ someone stole a huge tree out my garden when I was on holiday, how do you get that thru 

TBH I think the Council bod just gave up at that point. There was a familly of nutters down the street back then who were grassing everyone for everything they could. Council could honestly say they'd investigated.

Thanks for all the good advice. Amazing shared knowledge on here sometimes. Especilly treefella (Paul) and sorry that in the end I couldn't take up your Uncle's help - hopefully some biz in the future though.

Had a company in to quote who did the vegetation report for the insurers - can fell it in one go and cost is £650.00 ! Result ! Confimed what Tiaky said about disease and TPOs but pretty certain there is no TPO (probs should get it in writing from the council)

Double win in that insurers look like they're having a turnabout and going to pay for it to be removed as well, latest next Wednesday but might be sooner.

My new favourite friend said 'he wanted to get it on the ground as soon as poss'. I summonsed all my tree expertise and did what I've done all my career, took charge and suggested 'we better get it on the ground as soon as poss'.

Run good is back

So now only gonna be down -£2915 or £3565 & +5pts for the week. When I win the crown court appeal against the magistrates sentence this could reduce further. I know there's treemendous interest so I'll keep you all posted.
