1. Local handymen with chainsaws would probably be cheaper
than tree specialists. You could use public liability insurance as
the determinant: hire the handyman if he has such insurance,
otherwise not.
2. In ordinary town gardens, disposal of the felled tree is a
major problem and expense. Tree specialists have equipment
and skills to cut up and remove debris. (Few handymen do.)

Often the cheap will turn out expensive. If a tree is of a size or in
a location that you can't/won't remove it yourself it's best to
contract with a tree removal specialist, not some schmo with a
chainsaw. I remove trees myself every year but when large . . .
