Well, i rang TW. They said they weren't responsible as it wasn't shared. I explained it was effectively shared from roof level as the guttering drains to my house. They then said they weren't responsible for dealing with rainwater so i asked why im paying for it in my bills if eyre not...

Sorry about the crap pics again - i promise im not getting them the wrong way round deliberately! Freddie you've intrigued me now - i knew the water boards had taken over sewer issues but did not realise that would cover these too?

There are seven houses on the terrace and three downpipes. Mine effectively drains three. Talking to the next door but one neighbour (who also has a downpipe) last summer, and she also suffers with damp in that part of the wall. She runs a dehumidifier in the winter. Will try and attach. Yes...

Thanks for that Freddie. i wouldn't be surprised if it was blocked as the amount of moss/leaves/other green things that are on our roof that are falling into the gutters and washing down there constantly. However, the reason i decided it was a soakaway not connected to the sewer was because...

Sorry i cant seem to rotate them!

We live in an 80 year old mid terrace and have a problem with damp in our front walls. Just outside where the damp seems worst, we have the gutter downpipe for the surrounding terraces. It is cast iron and has a downpipe shoe at the end going into a sort of gulley type drain and presumed...

Morning all. Im trying to locate some t-bar reducers but need a 1.2m and 1.8m length. Ive trawled the diy sheds though they all seem to be limited to 0.9m. Anyone got any ideas as to where best to try? Thanks

It's really going to just depend on what your insurance company class it as. But put simply, if the garage is attached to the house with a door to through to the house it will be classed as a burglary dwelling. If it stand alone or there is no access to the house, the police will record ot as...

Frustrating. Sounds like something our solicitor should have picked up. Or maybe did and you weren't aware of the cost? Anyway, i cant see you being allowed to pump raw sewage into a storm drain. Would think this is a definite no. Not sure if its any use but my parents have all i can...

Sounds like youre in the same situation as we are. I actually thought we needed a PWA as we were excavating within 3m of the neighbours property, where the new extension footings meet the exisiting rear walls. But as has been pointed out here thats only for if we were going deeper than their...

As you've already noticed these companies are highly dubious and just trawl the planning websites looking for new appliactions. One company has caused confusion on my road by mailing everyone who lives within a 100m radius of my property (i'm the one getting the work done). Ive had other...

Thanks for the updates. Im fully happy that the building complies with PD rights and also fully anticipating a visit from the planners when my neighbours complain (because they don't think it does!) so hopefully this will be completed in time for it to be finishing and to allay any issues...
