Is this Sycamore dying?

I must confess I'm rather ill-informed about tree species, not sure who told me it was a Sycamore, but I think it was a tree surgeon 

It was just in that one area where most of the major branches off  the trunk meet. It's gone now.

It's a big tree, must be around 70 foot, would you be able to provide a rough estimate on the cost of removing it? I'm in North West Kent so basically London prices.

Don' forget it will make good fire wood .

Probable cause of initial decline / dieback was Verticillium Wilt. Maples are very prone to the disease. 

 

Good luck with getting it removed and be sure to plant a nice replacement...Small-leaf Lime
