Chimney stack removal
Can I conduct repairs and remove both my tall chimneys stacks on my roof at the end on my roof (2 storey detached house) without having to gain access to my neighbours property and erecting scaffolding over my neighbours adjacent flat garage roof which is structurally weak? Can I carry out my 2 chimney removals safely by erecting scaffolding solely on my side of my property?

New roof and firewalls still leaking
I have just had a new slate roof, but no flashing has been added to the parapet and firewalls. The roofer insists that this is a separate issue and not part of the roof. The firewalls are still leaking and he insists they need to be rerendered at an extra cost. Are parapets not part of the roof?

Adhoc Torch on Felt
I had a roofer inspect a flat roof a couple of months ago, who then made some patch repairs using torch on felt. Another roofer cam to quote for a replacement roof today and said the felt hadn't been torched on properly and water had got underneath the add on section. The felt could be lifted up without much effort and some of the edges on the felt underneath seemed to be peeling away. He then recommended I remove all of the add on felt as this was far worse than just having the felt below it. First of all, how bad of a job is this and secondly, is this likely to have caused any major damage in two months given we've been having a lot of rain? I appreciate any answers and you taking the time to respond.

Roof extension issue
My neighbour is having an extension and just noticed that part of their ridge roof and flashing is sitting on the edge of my flat roof. Is this allowed or do I need to be having words with them?
