We have just completed a GF extention to our property which, like our neighbour's, extends 4m from the rear wall of the house. Although the perimeters are the same, the single pitch of our roof is shallower meaning that there is c2/3rds of the roof which rises above our neighbour's roof at the point where they abut. The roofer has applied flashing which comes from under our tiles and is resting c4inches onto the neighbour's tiles to weatherpoof the c 2inch gap between the two walls.
Our neighbour is very unhappy about this and says we shouldn't be 'using' his roof in anyway. We have asked three seperate roofers to look at the job and all have confirmed this is the best way to weatherproof the gap (which is better for both of us).
I'm clear that we would need party wall approval if we were cutting the flashing in, but given this is just resting on the neighbours roof, I'm struggling to see what the issue is.
Neighbour is refusing to appoint his own surveyor saying this is my problem and I need to sort it out but obviously I don't want to spend £££ putting 'right' something that is 'right' in the first place!
Any advice appreciated...
