Thanks for all the responses - wow £400 sounds a real bargain esmf73!

I had wondered if it was wise to cut it down and let the roots wither all at once so I'll seek advice on that and get a couple of quotes. The three is at least two storeys tall with a trunk of about 1.5 feet diameter and it's about 3.5 m from house so I expect the root system reaches at least to the house.
There's some stepped cracking at the front of the house - not sure if that's connected. The surveyor who did my homebuyer report wasn't concerned and didn't mention the tree in the survey- just said it off the cuff on the day.

Let you all know how it turns out.

Gardenroute, if you'd like to recommend a Brighton based firm I think its poss to send direct messages on the forum isn't it?

Hi there, we've just had some tree work at our house in Brighton! i would highly recommend the company- Arbor Cura Tree Surgery

I've had the tree cut down - cost me £330 in total. Seemed about the going rate. Used Arbor Barber and they did a good job.
