Man up, buy a chainsaw and do it yourself.

This is what we did, admittedly we didn't have neighbours cars ect to worry about, but it was fun. And since that time, we then logged our woods annually for fire wood

They want £1100 to cut a tree down, which is potentially at least two full Winters' worth of free fuel!

thought had occured but it is part of a wood, half on someones elses land...one consolation I will have at least 2 years supply of logs which is nice

[Pesty]

I'll do it for £250

any collateral damage is down to you though so is disposal.

just man up and buy an axe. How hard can it be?

[wildoliver]

On a very serious note I wish you were nearer as I have felled a lot of trees and desperately need some wood for winter.

I'd have done the job for not that much money at all.

No problem

[mechsympathy]

A friend of mine was quoted £150 to remove a 40ft tree from the bottom of his 20ft garden. We decided to do it ourselves and it took pretty much all weekend. £1100 seems steep, but a 120ft tree would require a bit of effort to remove.

any pics of the area? can it fall fully or does it have to come down in sections?

problem is two fold wife will not let anyone near it who is not insured and also if anything were to go wrong it could end falttening half of next door's outbuildings! This does include chopping into splitable chunks, but even so...

it may even be bigger, it is a big boy, it also splits into three and according to weirdo Norfolk tree surgeon it has to come down in sections...
