So, must to bump this topic up again a bit. What are peoples thoughts please? Ask them to remove the 10cm of wooden roofing butted up to my property or leave alone and see what happens. TIA

I'm sorry they're not great pics. It's obviously dark now. Not sure exactly how the roof was constructed but it basically looks to be several layers of chipboard (ODB or similar?) covered in a fibre glass resin. Edit: rest of album here.

Nope. Not 100%. A not very clued up person at the council said that the developers hadn't notified building control and as such had been written to by the LABC with the case being passed on to planning enforcement. Don't know any more than that. Planning for a two storey side extension and...

Ah right! Thanks for explaining that for me. I'd assumed the trespass you mentioned was them doing the actual work. If the wood gets rotten/damp over time could it lead to the external brick wall of my extension soaking up water if it's permanently in contact with water? Though the extension is...

Thanks guys, thought it wasn't relevant anymore. Its a bit of a cowboy outfit tbh anyway so am keeping an eye...

My neighbours are building a rear extension that is almost adjoining my rear extension (there is an air gap of about 150mm between the walls). Before he started building I asked him to draw up a party wall agreement. No grief, just basically so I knew where I was with the work as he had to...

Thanks for the info! Yeah i thought scaffold would be needed. Id best get finding someone to sort this then.
