Advice needed for tree close to house.

[Siobhan O'Donnell]

Help! 

I have a tree (not sure which poss hawthorn) which is planted very close to the house (approx 3 to 4m). We believe that this may be the cause of cracking to one corner of the house and lifted paving stones on the patio.

We need advice/action as to whether this is indeed the cause of the problems and how this can be can be remedied. I don't want to get a tree surgeon just to chop it down but have had no reply from numbers/emails contacted through the Arboricultural Association.

Any advice on who would be best to contact? We are based in Claygate , Surrey.

Many thanks in advance.

I have been involved with a couple of claims on two lovely houses,  big properties less than 20 yrs old. 15m pile n beam jobs, top quality builds  but still getting internal cracking on support wall joins, structural engineer just said " houses shift, lad, only needs a millimetre  - but wont fall down"  K

Thought I had some cracks inside my house , turns out they are just cob webs . ?
