Two Trees Fallen On A House (UK Windblown Crane Job)
Channel: Matt Glynn
Date: 24/04/2022

Two large Beech trees had fell onto a house in the storms of winter 2022, our job was to use a crane to remove them!

The violent storms of the winter had resulted in two beech trees falling at the root plate during the night and landing on a detached house in Ellesmere Port, Chester. Lucky the home owner was not injured. Our job was to remove the two trees from site the only way of doing this however was by using a cable crane. There were no nearby trees to anchor into so the plan was to cut the stems off and then sling the crowns to the crane and get off the roof. Leaving the crane to pick the crowns from the roof without the climber still being attached to the crane block.
First things first thought the garden was very overgrown and there was nowhere to set up the crane around the front of the property. Day 1 we cleared the rear garden with the track chipper (Timberwolf 280 TFTR) and removed some conifers from the front. We also had to make access around the driveway and side of the uplifting flags for where the crane was going to be parked.

Day two was the arrival of the crane and the nitty gritty of the job, we first set about having the Bandit tow behind chipper set up on the road chipping into two vans and then removing the first tree. This was done by lifting one half of the tree in one pic and then slinging the crown to the crane, While I was attached to the crane I cut off the stem just enough to not hit the house when it drops – the initial point of cutting was changed after the ground lads advised.  Could then repel down and the crane take the main crown out of the roof with everyone stood clear.
The second tree was done in the same fashion. 

All that was left then was to remove the rest of the branches and debris from and inside of the roof. The stems where extracted from the back garden and loaded onto the trucks.

Day three was a few hours of a final clean up chipping some left over brash, taking some logs away from day one and a final clear up.
