So true- when i was getting the pics together I noticed their architect is also a surveyor - I have legal insurance - the advice line said it should be covered. I added some pics to the original post - thanks very much for the advice

Yes, I think you are right and I think that PW agreements are very limited too - once the developer sells up they are no longer valid. I added some pics to the first post.

Thanks very much for this info - the positive thing is that the guy is very approachable and wants to keep a good relationship with his neighbours - although that might be quite a challenge because three neighbouring properties abutt the land and they have all objected to the planning proposal...

It's only a few weeks ago - 20th Oct - yeh I think I should get the bracket fitted and get the boiler sorted - at least it heats the water and radiators really well - not going to freeze but will have a bad headache by spring :)

A planning proposal has been granted to build a single-storey annex on a parcel of undeveloped land directly behind my property - a small dry-lined 1850s rubble-walled Methodist chapel. The new building will be alongside the rear wall of the chapel about 1 m away. At present, there is a...

Yes, it was a direct Worcester employee - maybe I need an independent company to check the whole system and the flue - there is a local company that I could try - they are Worester Bosch installers too

yeh, I was wondering if that made a difference - the elbows? My first boiler had a straight flue - the second was a Baxi and that was when the elbows first appeared - I would prefer the bracket to be closer to the wall and was wondering if it is possible to replace the flue I have now with a...

It is the actual roof - it is an open-plan converted chapel - the living area is upstairs where all the windows are and the sleeping area and bathrooms are downstairs - just as I am writing this it is gurgling - I think the settings need tweaking a bit too because I only have 2 large...

I rang them straight away - they agreed with the installer and stated that the installation instructions says that if the flue is longer than 15 cm there needs to be a bracket - but I had the same installation manual and could not find where it said that - I asked for the page number but he...

Just had a new boiler fitted - really stressful time - this is my third one in 20+ years. It was making a symphony of loud whining, humming, and whirring noises so I was told by the installer to call Worcester Bosch (WB). The WB engineer fixed a high-frequency noise that was causing my ears to...

Thanks yeh, it is a great deal of stress and effort to resolve something that is not your fault - building control was actually notified of the installment of the bathroom next to my living room on the party wall - however, with COVID and new regulations they did not participate as much as when...

Yeh, it is louder than the taps on my side. The owner said in her email that a plumber came round on 3rd Oct but he only heard normal tap noises - in my diary on the 3rd Oct I have written 'Terrible noise from tap next-door - they left it running for ages' haha

Thanks, I do hope I can get it resolved. Good luck with your problem - the shunting noise sounds worrying - hope the EH will help. Maybe, they can visit the property and come up with a solution.

Hi I posted this earlier because I have a similar problem - noisy taps from a sink on a party wall after the neighbours did some renovation. It is very difficult to record something like this because you don't have that much notice of when it is going to happen and it doesn't last for that long...

Yeh, when I read your post I really really felt your pain and could understand your desperation to find a solution. Every night before my neighours go to bed, when there is no traffic outside and it is all quiet, they brush their teeth etc and vooooommmmmmmm - grrrr Insulation could be a...

Brilliant suggestion - thanks very much - I have some pics of the bathroom that I downloaded from an estate agent - the first set of owners sold the property as an ongoing project at the start of the year. It's easier to upload the pics than trying to describe the layout :) the boiler is...

I have exactly the same problem with my neighbour's taps and plumbing and with the neighbour's response - I believe the problem is amplification in the party wall. The pipes have been attached to the wall and the wall acts like an amplifier when anything is drilled into it, etc. I live in a...
