Tree advice, survey and cutting...

FUNKYDADDIO · 13 March 2013 at 7:27PM

Hi Guys, was on here last year asking advice ref a house I was buying and the potential hazard of a neighbours tree. I now own the house and need some advice on two issues. 1, I was advised by mortgage company to get a survey carried out to gauge root growth and any potential impact on my foundations, the branches are almost touching side of my house about 30ft up. Anyone recommend someone who carries out this sort of work and also I`m assuming the cost of this would need to be paid by me with my neighbour giving consent for surveyor to access his land for a one off inspection. Also if work is needed i.e. root cutting via a trench, who would pay for that?? 2, In regard the over hanging branches my neighbour told me to feel free to get them cut but surely that is not my responsibility?

Hoping someone can advise, Thanks..

Funkydaddio - did you manage to find a surveyor to do the work for you?

Hi, yeah I got a guy to do a survey, cost around £200, very quick but what I needed. You want me to PM the details? Thanks..

Hi, I really need someone to prune back the above mentioned tree from around the top of my chimney. Not a massive job so would love to avoid the big tree companies. Anyone any thoughts on this or recommendations? Thanks again...
