Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Need a small tree dug up as it is causing damp in the adjoining room.

Any ideas?

Don't you have to inform the council if your chopping (noooooooo) down a tree?  What's the diameter of the trunk and height of the tree?

Only if it's been CPO'd and those trees are not small. I'm surprised to hear that a tree is "causing damp", trees tend to drink water but their roots can break into houses if they're put too close. In my experience damp in ladder houses at this time of year is caused by double glazed windows and "painted" brick exterior walls. Victorian houses were designed to breathe/exhale moisture. Your best bet might be to buy a good dehumidifier, that's always worked for me.

Jacky, have you a photograph you could add? Like John I'm surprised you have a tree causing damp. How is it doing this?

I would recommend speaking to Andrew Wassell who is an excellent local tree surgeon.  What he don't know ain't worth knowing....and when he quoted for removing trees from our garden I was pleasantly surprised at the price but it will depend on the tree/access and a whole load of different variables.

I suspect that after that, the room will still be damp (time of year - windows finally closed) and they'll no longer have a nice wee tree in their garden.

Sacrilege!

I think it would be fair to say its most of a Sycamore sapling than a tree to be honest.
