I would personally like to smack the tw... but I live a little further down on the street and it would make life a bit awkward all around. Sadly my mother has seen the idiot in his garden and kicked off at him. We agreed to not do that or at least ring me lol. Shes told him that hes made a...

Update: I popped my head up the loft yesterday. It appears hes moved two supporting beams that run along the floor of my mums loft and his to the ceiling. I couldn't see but I assume hes moved these so he could get the girders in. theres also two new posts been made (new wood) in my mums loft...

Right.. thank you for the helpful comment.

Update: Council has been.. The gentleman had a good look and said in his opinion there has been no movement.. (door frames magically shrink then and magical cracks must be a standard). He said checks were done after the girders were put in and passed but wasnt sure if the girders were on a 4...

Stop! lol End of the day its going to help us in the long run.. somewhere down the line. Thanks again :-)

Hey guys, dont argue lol. Obviously the party wall notification must stand for something lol. It wasnt even an issue or should I say we didn't even know of such an act until my mums ceiling / door frame started to move down. If we hadnt had that issue I probably wouldnt be looking into it more...

Yes! The house with the dodgy loft is in the middle of the block. So there is a neighbour on the other side. Once he comes back home my mum and I are going to pop round to speak to him to see if he had any written notification or if he has witnessed any damage yet. Then take it from there. The...

I e-mailed them yesterday actually but have not had a reply yet (blooming work has gotten in the way). I'll get on to them tomorrow on the phone. Will certainly keep you posted. Appreciate the help :)

Hi guys, My mother who lives in an end block of houses have neighbours who have started work converting their loft into a bedroom. I am certainly no builder but was concerned at one point as they were bringing steel girders in to what we think (I do not know for sure) are supported on to just...
