Does anyone know if Evo Stik Plumbers Mait contains petroleum? The Evo Stik website contains no info regarding it. I am using it for a non plumbing use to prevent water getting into a rubber gasket but someone pointed out to me that it could be bad for the rubber if it contained petroleum...

I don't think you would be allowed to cantilever over the path either without permission.

Looking at the title deeds the wall is the boundary line.

I surely have the law on my side in this matter. How would you feel if a someone parked their car right in front of your drive and stopped you using it? How is that scenario different to mine? Anyway, I think I have established that I have right of access along the lane and the builders do not...

I assume that your neighbour would have agreed to you doing that first. What would you have done if they had not agreed? I have accepted that the shop is happening and nothing I can do will stop that. But at the same time I am not happy to be walked all over by them. I don't want to be...

Yes shared ownership is common up here. My deeds dont make it explicitly clear on that point though. What i do know for certain is that we have a right of access and the builders do not.

The path isnt wide enough for any scaffolding poles to be there and still allow us to take our wheelie bins to the front of the house. Any scaffolding poles on the path would therefor be blocking our access. Has no one ever told that if you have nothing nice to say maybe best to just say...

Thanks. OK so assuming I don't actually own the path, I still have a right of access. The scaffolders presumably must find out who does own the path and seek their permission. The owner of the path can't deny me my right of access by allowing the scaffolding to be built without seeking my...

This is what it says in the title deeds: "a right in common along with the proprietors of the seven adjoining terraced dwellinghouses to all common and/or mutual parts, walls and fences, including the pathway surrounding the subjects shown tinted yellow on the said plan serving the whole of the...

It is owned by us and the 7 other houses. It is in our title deeds. It is access to ours and our neighbours back gardens. The building that is getting turned into a supermarket has no right of access. If the scaffolders turned up I would just stand on the path. What could they do?

I looked up my local council rules on this and they state no noisy construction on a Sunday. The builders are either a bunch of cowboys or don't care (or both). I complained to the council about them so we will see.

Yes this is what I meant. Assuming that this work does not fall under essential maintenance, am I right in thinking that they don't have any right to put scaffolding up on my side without my permission? If that is true then they could face a bit of a problem if I am also right in thinking they...

Thanks for your answer. The strip of land, the cement path between the wall and fence, belongs to me and 7 other houses joined on to my house. The other building has no right of access to this path. Would you classify the conversion of a nursing home to a supermarket, which includes knocking...

Thanks for your answer. I know I have posted similar questions regarding this before but this is a huge deal in my life and I just want to get as much information as possible. You may think I am just a moaning nimby but all I want is a quiet life. Before we bought this house, next door was...
