Will have nesting birds in it just now I imagine. At a guess contractors would have to wait until autumn. That’s if you live in the U.K of course @Joey66 may be able to help you here
I do yeah. I'd have to put money away anyway tbh so that's fine. It's actually broke the fence behind it.
Tree contactors are expensive, look for a good local recommended local garden firm as soon as the chicks have left their nest ....
Or if you are able hire a chainsaw - cut a V cut on the side you wish it to fall 3\4 of the way through then a side cut on the opposite side for the tree to fall in a controlled way
Then chainsaw at close to ground level....
Thank you. May just get someone in thanks, I'll end up doing something daft.

I would have thought would cost a couple of hundred quid for a decent job unless you want to risk a cowboy doing it.
Just avoid if you can the expensive arboriculturalist a skilled all rounder landscape gardener..,.who should be slot cheaper......
£150 - 250 is a guide .....get a few estimates written out first ....
I agree with you there mate.
Chainsaws are not for the inexperienced.
What could possibly go wrong !
That's like "How long is a piece of string"
It will not be cheap to get a reputable firm in. The actual cost would depend on a lot of things e.g. the height and girth of the tree, as well as the proximity to buildings, fences, roads and footpaths etc
Most firms will also charge for 'disposal' despite the fact they will probably sell on the wood, the bark and chippings etc
There are a lot of 'cowboy' firms around who would be cheaper obviously, but check that they have insurance, particularly if it's close to property.
Doubt you would get a sapling removed for that @Joey66 If it's a decent size tree near buildings you could be looking at 6 or 700
EDIT - I just found this from 2018

I’ve always avoided using one. Scare the crap out of me.
...I’ve had a few taken down and removed, quotes of around £200 is about right.
Same here, I’ve watched way too many nasty films with them in !
Yeah I don't trust myself, have no awareness of my own safety.
Yeah im clueless mate so wasn't sure if there is a set price or not. I've phoned a firm and so happens the fella lives around the corner. Will get him out for a quote. Even if I can do some work myself to keep the cost down. It's pushing the back fence out so sure my neighbours aren't happy.
