Thank you all for your help. Yes, new neighbour did building work and dug a trench for a new retaining wall. I looked over the fence and saw a big pile of tree roots :-( Apologies, I couldn't work out how to add more than one photo but anyway I suspect it's not really an option to trim off affected limbs as the entire tree is affected. Every branch and the trunk. It's in an awkward position too. Right up against the fence at the back of the garden, with decking built around base, so no turf on the closest roots. I could lift the decking and mulch, would that help? I'll try the sugar solution (at least Ill feel like I'm trying) and yes I think I need to get an Arborist in. I get lots of leaflets advertising them through my door but how to I find a reputable one? I'm in NW london. Thanks again for all your help, really appreciate it.

Hello, I'd really appreciate some help. We have a lovely old laurel tree at the back of our garden. Unfortunately about 6 months ago our neighbour cut through lots of the roots. The tree is now looking very unhealthy. The leaves are sparse and are pale green or yellowing. There is resin dripping from the trunk and branches all over the tree. The floor below the tree is covered in a thick layer of resin that has been dripping off. It looks like it is dying. I'm so upset, Is there anything I can do do save it???? Please help!! I've attached a few photos so you can see the state its in.
