This. clown knows all about ‘not knowing what they are talking about.’

 

Just get a professional to advise you properly.

Ye shte person who advised you knows just enough to make it sound like he knows what he's talking about but not enough to actually know.

 

It is now widely held, and for good reason, that staged reduction to avoid heave will not reduce the efffects of heave. If anything, doing it in one go and then immediately planting replacements (but in a more sustainable psition) will do more to reduce heave than a staged removal.

 

And then there's the bloody obvious. Are you even in an area of shrinkable clay AND are your foundations designed or built to below the modern NHBC standard. Unless the answer to both of these is YES, then heave is not an issue.

I have just done stage 2 of 3  (stage 1 was a year ago) of a tree removal due to ground/building issues. This was via a professional survey, nothing to do with me I am just the tree guy!

Probably done to BS 1945 standard!
