Hi,

My partner’s neighbours have just work done on the roof and the company used have seemingly took a row of my partners house tiles and fitted new ones and encroached over the boundary line. The first picture shows the before with the tiles in line with the pebble dash boundary and the second shows what they have done and she hasn’t taken it at the same angle but you can see the difference.
How the builder decided to remove the tiles from her property and do this is ridiculous and thankfully the neighbours are trying to see what’s gone on but the issue is that the tiles are now long gone and any advice on what to do if the builders are a pain?

I guess they were just lazy and didnt want to cut any tiles on their side.
 
Your neighbour just made themselves liable for any leak on that part of your house.
Ask them to do the rest of your roof.
 
Bit of a cheek, though quite common, unfortunately. They have trespassed onto neighbours property.

Have to say I don't think I'd be too happy about this, as it makes the house look smaller.

First thing to do would be to ask the neighbours to ask their roofers if there was a reason they did it that way.
 
This is the response

He has managed to knock some bricks in the loft too we think.

He's putting the roof right though proving he was responsible for damaging the party wall will be another matter.
