I've just had a quote of £260-350 for a crown lift, 10% thin and slight
reduction of a mature walnut tree - is this reasonable?


Sounds a bit high, get some other quotes.

I thought it sound within the range that would be reasonable, after all
we do not know the access or whats under the tree that may be damaged if
care is not taken. But getting 3 quotes is always worth the time and if
you can find a cheaper firm you may as well save the money. I would
certainly want to see the insurance certificate before allowing work to
start.
