ok thanks they are leyland cypress, 20ft, 5ft coming off.
Should be fine, i've got the same thing to do tomorrow, about 3ft off a large already cut off conifer.
I told them it's gonna look rubbish, but they want it done..
During the bad winter of 2010/2011 i did a conifer reduction in minus 15 celsius and it survived fine so i wouldnt worry about it.
No problems immediately after or since.
conifer hedges being trimmed this time of year are fine but I would be a little concerned about doing a hard prune particularly Cupressus, Chamaecyparis and × Cupressocyparis leylandii (Leyland cypress) as these at the best of times are a bit intolerant of hard major pruning outside of the growing season.
