We have a semi detached garage and the rain water for ours and the attached garage runs off in to down pipe on my side, which runs in to a soak away drain.
The property is 60 years old and the soak-away has now failed, water backs up the drain pipe and floods my garden. I would add that their end of the gutter has no end stop on it but the guttering is slightly angled so the bulk of the water comes our way.
Our neighbour doesn’t maintain their side of the guttering or anything for that matter. I’m obviously going to have to pay for a new soak away to be installed but can I just install new guttering at my end and refuse to let the rain water from their roof run in to the new soak away that will be on my property. Our neighbours are not the type who will help with costs of any work.
