The message
from hazchem contains these words:

A 150 year oldbeechtree is due to be cut down soon. It looks healthy
but it has fungus sprouting from its base. The owner of the tree
contacted the council and someone came round and said that it had to
be cut down. They said the roots would rot away and then it would fall
over.
Does this make sense to you?

On the balance of probabilities, no.

Not sure about the fungus but the price quoted is a rip off.
It looks like a dismantling job rather than a straight fell; but even
so it shouldn't take more than a day for a couple of competent workers
to fell+ whatever time it takes to deal with the arisings.
