Tree damaging workshop,Help please!

The tree you describe is big, there will be an incredible amount of good burning fire wood in it, if you take it down. Its a job for a pro. Then kill the root properly.
I had a big ash tree come down due to being hollow rotten, came down in two stages a year apart. We burnt it for nearly 5 winters.

That has to be the good point as well as ,hopefully ,saving the workshop. We had a few other ash trees down a year or so ago and am happily working our way through them but more will always be useful. We definitely have an excess of tree cover in the garden as an overhead shot shows over 50 % foliage cover to the detriment of everything else.

Yes my brother and I have been removing Ash trees with die back, huge trees with an abundance of wood once felled.
Some we have removed have been full Of water in the center, they can be lethal especially in high winds!
Real shame as they were really nice trees!!

It used to be the norm for insurance surveyors to say no tree within 60 foot of a building or boundary wall if you were seeking insurance on a property or for mortgage purposes .

I explained that to our old neighbour she hummed and harred but aftr five more years of paying over £400 pa to have 40 mtrs of some 30 Leylandii cut to a seven metre height ( her property is several metres lower down hill than mine which has been built up, walled and landscaped to flat instead of a sloping hill side ) she asked some gentlemen of the road to cut them all down and take the things away . A massive fly tip of such trees was found a few days late in a small countryside road .. The stumps are waterlogged and I suspect will end up being preserved in the unoxygenated hill run off water as though it is peat.

ive known house insurance to cancel the policy due to the large tree close to the house

in some cases theyve refused to pay out as they wasnt told about the tree so close to the property

Same here, we have massive oak trees overshadowing the garden at the back and although I love trees they are a PITA for everything else under them.
