Finding the right person for advice

[Jiat2]

Have a problem with a neighbouring tree.

 

For reasons at present I am unable to discuss this with them at all.

 

That does not mean I can just leave things as the tree is huge and I have a concern.

 

I have looked and looked at online searches but it seems I am unable to find what I am looking for.

 

I want a qualified expert opinion as to if a tree is safe as a number of things have happened.

 

Along with a number of worrying signs around the tree base.

 

I would want rather to get an expert opinion than show photos etc.

 

The tree is huge and concern over the stability etc following works and the general condition.

 

I only seem able to find tree surgeons who have qualifications but nothing extensive.

 

Where do you go to find who would be considered an expert who could do a survey and know whether the tree is at risk or not?

 

What qualification should I look for?

 

I assume that a general tree surgeon may well have many years experience and excellent in their field. However would appreciate an expert report.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

What’s your location?

Ditto. Location may lead to a specific recommendation. Or you can try the Arb Association's list of registered consultants or thevInstitute of Chrtered Foresters (which also covers arboriculture) list of members..

if its in a neighbors garden how are they going to inspect it unless you talk to them to gain access 

[Jiat2]

Yes at present unable to do that. 

 

Will discuss everything that is possible with person who I hopefully find to help.

 

Still unable to find someone however in the area and if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Sounds like yr reticence in outlining the tree problem will contain many issues that may put some off, also it sounds like an Arbitration Service is just as needed here . K

Nah, the more complicated the better. Good if it puts off the lightweights.
