cookie - had a larger Ash felled last year (London) for £250 by properly qualified tree surgeons, and it was in a 'complicated' position next and over a conservatory. They mashed everthing in their towed shredding tackle so cleared all the mess. Might be cheaper up where you are.
Are you in a conservation area, if you are then you'll have to get permission for any tree work from your local Council. If not in a conservation area check that your tree doesn't has a Preservation Order on it - many 'specimen' trees do. Big fines if you attack these and you then get 'grassed-up'; beware of the twitching net curtains, there's always somebody watching.
EDIT: they didn't mash the conservatory, not a scratch on it.![]()
