Really sorry to hear this news Philippa. You're a good person and have been kind to me since I joined last April or so. I can't add much on the legal side other than it appears you have a case?
Just thinking,and this may be a dumb question, but could you relocate your greenhouse further away from their tree? Not that you should have to...but then if its a big tree it may well hit your GH wherever you put it.
So sorry about your garden Philippa, you must be really p***ed off. Surely your neighbour must be responsible for the damage if the tree is on her land. She must be responsible for keeping the tree safe.
Re the 'fly in the ointment' do what I do. Totally ignore him and never comment on his posts, its the way to treat naughtly spoilt children who demand attention. I'm sure it will work if everyone does it.
Oh dear I am glad I blocked Mike after growing bored of his little feet stamping violin playing tantrums.
Philippa - I'm so sorry to hear about your greenhouse and tree interface issues! I hope you can get their insurance to pay for a greatly improved greenhouse and costs for removing all of that tree.
Maybe the first step is to ask if she has house insurance. A lot of people don't if they are hard up, even though it is often a false economy. If not, claim on your insurance, but that may affect youe premiums next year.
It probably will affect your premiums, but not by £500.00 +, the price of a new greenhouse. But first the problem of the over tall trees will need to be tackled, not sure how but if it was me, I would try my local council first.
When we wanted to cut our long row of 100 year old beech trees down, our council was very helpful, its a start.

I know what you mean about liking your neighbour, Philippa. I have an old lady of a similar age living by me......she also has a couple of large trees growing along our mutual boundary.
We have a very amicable arrangement, I keep the trees cut back to safe proportions and she makes the most delicious apple pies I've ever tasted for me.
I would of course do it without the apple pies, but it makes her feel that she has contributed.
Skin cancer and survival .please I need your true information , experience on this subject ..I know I have not worded it right . I can't find the words.hope you know what I'm asking .
Cousin in Australia had it years ago - he's fine. Niece had it years ago - she's fine. Friend in Scotland keeps having bits removed - has been having them removed for years. She's fine - just keeps having check-ups. If you've had it once you're usually monitored regularly.
However, that implies that it's 'nothing' - it's not, it can be serious and whoever has the diagnosis needs to take and act on medical advice - anything we tell you on here is only our experience and isn't really going to help you.
The best way of easing your worries is to know the facts and the only way you're going to get the facts is to talk to a doctor. ((hugs))

I did claim for a greenhouse that got damaged in the wind. Your house Ins covers it.
