Planning on building a lean-to shed along the side of the house, space of about 2m to fence. It's too narrow to get a usable standalone shed and still be able to maintain the walls and fence, so I'm intending going for a lean-to using the wall of the house, maintaining a maintenance gap between shed wall and fence (and also allowing for an overhang and gutter without oversailing the neighbour's garden).
I'm always a bit nervous about doing anything too 'permanent' to the fabric of the building, but as fairly sure the only way to keep this watertight will be to flash between the brickwork of the house and onto the roof of the shed - simply sealing the gap is just inviting trouble. It's a brick-built wall (new-build 2012ish) and between two houses so only exposed to sunlight early morning and fairly well protected from the wind and rain.
Happy to go with the flashing, but thought I'd see if alternatives existed first!
Cheers.
