Hello again, I have not posted any updates on this boundary issue for a few years. Yes a few years. This saga started in April 2021 almost 3 years ago. So much has happened since that day. My Bully lying neighbour told lies to his naive wife who spread the lies to most of my neighbours...

Hello there, Was your composite door installed by a professional business?? A Double Glazing Company who installs windows & doors. If so !! Don't you have a 10 year Guarantee/Warranty on the door?? I had windows & a Composite Door installed in 2009 & Got a FENSA Certificate with the...

Thank you all for replying to my post. Some replies are not helpful, so if you cannot post sensible replies,please do not reply. Will update later with the solution to the problem. Dee

To reduce the risk of flooding to neighbouring properties, the law requires that you: Keep your drains clear in your property and to ensure that you do not drain water into your neighbour’s property or foul drain. There is a natural right of drainage that allows water that flows naturally...

Thanks again for you reply. I have sufficient downpipes for my property. But They take the rain from both properties. I mentioned in the first post that the overflow was affecting my property, not my neighbours.

Thank you for your reply. My neighbours do not have any downpipes. I am not responsible for my neighbour's rain that ends up in their gutters, but, then it runs into my gutters creating the problem. According Environment Law, they state this quite clearly as shown in the article I have posted.

Hello there, Thank you for your reply. My downpipes & soakaway are working properly. I have them cleaned out regularly. Why do you ask?? Thanks.

Hello again, I have not posted on here for a while. I'm planning on replacing my guttering & downpipes. My semi-detached bungalow was built in the 1980's & has shared gutterings with the attached property. During heavy downpours, the water comes over the top of my gutterings and runs the...

Thank you for your reply to the Guttering Question. I have now found the following information on www.enviromentlaw.org.uk I will copy and paste the article here. http://www.environmentlaw.org.uk/rte.asp?id=103 Here it states quite clearly what you can & cannot do with regards to water...

Good morning, Problem 1. I am hoping to replace the Lean-to Conservatory 20 year old Polycarbonate Roof, which has become dirty looking, having been damaged over the years. No planning permission was needed then & that still the case now. I know that prior to changes that came in 2010, 75%...

It's been a while since I last posted a topic on here. I have lived in this semi-detached bungalow for 6 years now, & have to say that I am annoyed & embarrassed with myself for not noticing in previous years, that my neighbour shares my gutters & down pipes. My son has cleaned out the gutters...

Hi Frank. The mortar securing the top row of bricks is all cracked and some end bricks elsewhere on the wall next to the steps are also loose. Personally I feel that he started the project in December 2009, which of course was a real cold winter, so as pointed out in a previous reply the...

Hi Again, Thank you both for your replies. Much appreciated. To date I have not had any contact from the builder. I sent him an email on Sunday, so that I have created a paper trail. I suspect that he will try and fob me off with various lame excuses. My son has dealings with trading...

Hello there, I would like some information from any Builders on here Please. I had my garden revamped in December 2009. I had two patios and a Garden Wall Built. The builder was recommended to me and I phoned some of the references he provided. So I was happy to use him to do the work...
