Hi,
Hoping someone can help me. I live in a Victorian terraced property and the neighbour needs to damp course the party wall. The wall I believe is only a single brick wall and they will be drilling half way and injecting. They have rising damp. I have several questions -
1) The damp company says they do not need a party wall agreement for this work. Is this correct?
2) How would I be covered without any agreement if they were to do something like drill through the whole wall or if their work caused the plaster to fall off the wall?
3) If they only damp course their side of the wall will I then be at risk of the damp coming up my wall instead? If so can I protect myself in respect of this? At the moment I am damp free and would like to stay that way!
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!
