    As the OP is being unhelpful to them and won't allow the workers to climb tree (and prob not an option anyway) they will have to either get a cherry picker in or a scaffold tower. Can't say for certain but cherry picker access looks unlikely but scaffold tower will likely need the shed moving.
    So 3 man crew, hiring tower , chipper for branches, moving shed ( which may fall apart) I'd guess you're looking at a quote getting towards £500.

    Cherry picker access might be possible from the "eyesore church" if the area behind the tree is hard standing / accessible

    If only that tree was as easy to remove physically as it was for the OP to pull the picture from the hosting site :)

    Don't really get why people are having a pop at the OP, the neighbour has lived there 20 years according to earlier posts so had plenty of time to take issue with the tree, it's not as if it shot up overnight.

    You obviously didn't see the photo. And a tree can change in size significantly in 20 years. He took the photo off for a reason

    Indeed. The true looked as though it belonged in the woods. :eek:

    Funny how the OP removed the picture. Perhaps our opinions didn't bode well with them. That doesn't stop the OP from thanking recent posts which lean into their line of thinking.
