It should have had enough water this year at least - I suspect that its roots are well into the sewers in the main road! Any ideas - or ideas where I could seek help? We are in West London

Thanks
Might try the International Society of Arboriculture's website option in the menu to look up Certified Arborists by area.

Also, most trees can't get roots into sewers in a lot of cities because the pipes are sealed and not porous like perforated drain lines may be sometimes.

Sounds like there may be something about your soil or the conditions of the property affecting it. And that can be slightly complex sometimes. Almost needs to be seen in person.
