Might be worth checking on some gardening forums but as i understand it the roots will be extremely long and very deep rooted....so might end up killing it in nthe process.
Ive a Few links if you want too check.

The conifers in my front garden were about that high...and the roots were in my back garden...
-
you aint going to just move it mate
those rotes will spread all over the place
if its to high for you why not cut it down to a resonable height
i managed to cut my tree's down they were taller than the house and only made 1 cut ;D
-
The root system will extend around 2 - 3 times the height of the tree. At that size I doubt it would be feasable to move it ---- not impossible -- but you'd need a bl**dy great hole dug very carefully !!!!!!

thought of cutting it down to about 10 foot to make it easer to move but dont no if this is a good thing as its like two shocks on the tree
-
you'll never move the whole tree mate
you got no chance not unless you want to pay out alot
best thing you can do is if its getting to high is cut it down to a height your happy with and move the rest of the tree to where you want it
if the tree is strong enough it will rerote in time :y

We moved a tree last year, well I made the tea while a Gardening guy moved it. Not a large tree, we planted it as a sapling 2 years earlier, he made sure there was a large root ball attached to it and a big enough hole to put it in it's new spot. Waiting for some new growth to see if it was successful move. :-/
-
Somebody in a house around the corner from me removed two trees in his front garden....................with a JCB 8-) 8-) 8-) :D ;)
-
when me and a fried cut our trees down we climbed to the top to tie a rope round and then cut it from the bottle and then pulled the bugger down
paul vx1 has seen the vid on my phone of the one tree coming down and filling the garden
-
a tree which is 18 ft long needs very deep hole and long roots to survive.. asked my wife and she says very late for this tree , it wont survive..
-
Conifers have larger root systems than deciduous trees too !!!!

oh dear no good news from anyone?

Cut it down, kill the roots by drilling holes in the stump & filling with creosote. Then plant some more to replace the one lost :y
-
remeber for every tree you cut down you must replace it by 3 new tree's ;D
-
If its that big its probably a Leylandi......so its vermin....burn it!

The softly approach :D

Well, the inside will be mostly dry and dead so they go up well......apparantly

no its not a leylandi as its the same height as when we moved here 4 years ago and looks in good condition so really wanted to save it

Ive just sent an email to my local council asking them 'politely' to rather get rid of the trees behind my house....as the trees havent been pruned in about 20 yrs....and put my entire garden in the shade come about 3pm in the summer months......wonder if it will work :question ::) ::)
Just got an automated reply back.....saying....we will look into this urgently ;D ::) ::)

If they overhang your land you can prune them, but you must throw any cuttings over the fence to the tree owner :y

They aint little trees ;D I would need the longest step ladder ever made just reach the first branch ;D I was told by a neighbour.....he can remember the trees being pruned by the council about 20 yrs ago....apparently he told me.....one branch they cut off went straight through the roof of his garden shed....council ended up rebuilding his shed ;D ::)
