Here's a recent job carried out by Hunters tree surgeons in Leeds. This was a case of a large tree positioned directly over the customer's roof! This kind of job is common for Hunters and although the tree wasn't in imminent danger of falling, it had the potential to cause a lot of damage if it did!
Should a tree fall onto a house, it can incur a huge cost! So prevention of such an accident is far better than a cure after it has happened!
As tree surgeons based in Leeds, we specialise in safe, controlled dismantling of dangerous, split, or overhanging trees. Every job is carried out with care, precision, and full insurance for complete peace of mind.
Here's an image of the tree in question:

Tree Surgery In Leeds - Split Tree
With a split tree such as this one, it's important to secure the troublesome tree part before cutting it, as you would expect. When you're cutting a tree at height, it can also cause damage if it isn't done properly. That's why we always recommend hiring a specialist such as Hunters Tree Care!
In this next picture you can see we secured the split tree part with ropes and carabiners.

Once the overhanging part was secured, it was safe to cut it away from the remaining part of the tree, without a fall. We were then able to safely remove the dangerous part of the tree without any possibility of it falling onto the house.
Summary
In this case study we had a tree overhanging a house. There's many situations like this which we have encountered. If you have a troublesome tree, it's always worth giving us a call. Taking a tree down is always the safer option if it poses a risk to damaging property.
If a tree falls on to a roof, it can cause expensive damage.
Not only do you have to repair the roof and any structural damages to the building, but you also need to have the tree removed as well!
So it's always far better to have the tree removed before any damage occurs! Prevention is better than cure as they say!
