Probably bout 10 meters from the tree to the drive with access through side gate.

Wow. I was expecting a full day and several people. This may be cheaper than I originally anticipated!

Not sure if this picture will work. But would you say this is a 'biggun' tree?

Understood. Would it be acceptable to ask for two quotes, one with fire wood and one without? Reason being I would need to pass on the additional cost to the bloke in work who wants the wood.

Hi, I'm looking to get a very large sycamore tree removed (not the stump) from my not so large garden in Gloucester. I have a few questions that hopefully someone can help answer. 1. What's the best place to find a qualified and competent tree surgeon? I've contacted two listed on the Arboricultural Association site so far. 2. Is there a good time of year to get it removed? I was thinking of autumn after the leaves have dropped to make things easier for the tree surgeons. 3. I want to plant a couple of new, more manageable trees either side of the stump, will it be possible to plant anything within 1-2 meters or will the roots prevent this? 4. I was thinking of planting a couple of apple or crab apple trees. Would this be a good choice for a smaller garden to provide some privacy and shade? 5. Someone from work is keen to have the wood to burn. Will most tree surgeons happily leave you with chopped up logs? Is this type of request likely to increase the overall price? Thanks in advance, Mike
