Tree Surgery
Taking a tree down safely, whether it can be dropped in one piece or has to come down in sections.
Some trees have room to be felled in one go. Most garden trees do not: there is a house, a fence, a greenhouse or a neighbour's roof in the way, and the tree has to be taken down piece by piece from the top, with each section cut and lowered under control.
Where there is a clear drop zone, the tree is cut at the base and directed to fall where it should.
Climbing or working from a platform, taking the crown and then the stem down in manageable pieces, lowering them on ropes where anything below needs protecting.
Timber cut to length or taken away, brash chipped, and the site left tidy. The stump can be left, cut low or ground out.

Usually not, unless the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or you are in a conservation area. A protected tree needs the council's consent before work, and in a conservation area you normally have to give the council six weeks' notice first. Ask your council if you are not sure which applies.

All bat species and their roosts are protected by law, and the government lists cutting down or removing branches from a mature tree as an activity that can harm bats. If a tree might hold a roost, it needs checking, and if harm cannot be avoided a licence from Natural England is needed.

Yes. That is what sectional dismantling is for: the tree comes down in pieces, lowered under control, rather than being felled in one go.
Your choice. We can cut it into rings or logs and leave it, or take it all away with the chippings.
