Question

My neighbour has erected scaffolding which is hanging over my property and they did not have the decency to inform us about their roofing works. Is this acceptable? It is a semi detached property so are they allowed to interfere with my roof tiles without my permission?

Oliver · Answer

No scaffolding and roofers can not access your property with out your permission 

Worst what if anybody breaks any of your roof 

Get something on writing that anything broken will be replaced free of charge

Ryan · Answer

No not with out permission  no should every going on your roof or touching tiles on your roof many thanks

Daniel · Answer

They should have informed you that work was going ahead for a start. Most roofs will be of the same tile but if the neighbour is having a New roof then most roofers will put in a tray called a bonding gutter to separate the roofs but may have to move and or even cut some of your tiles.

Chris · Answer

No Ann any damage to your roof or property will need to be rectifyed will say that you will need to check your roof if possible ask the roofers to take some photos to put your mind at ease if they say no while the scaffold is still up get a family member to get up and check also your neighbours could have put you in the picture about getting the job done especially if the scaffold is over your property. I hope this has helped

No it's not de should have asked you for permission before doing so

Hi as a courtesy they should have let you known about the roof works . 
Regarding the section between your tiles and the neighbours it is normal for the roofer to remove a course of your tiles to fit and overlap the felt onto yours . They may also fit a bonding gutter depending on the new tiles/slates that are being used to replace the old roof .

Tony · Answer

No they are not allowed to inerters with your roof they need to ask you

Spencer · Answer

The neighbour should have informed you that they were having works done and that scaffolding was involved. Unfortunately if it’s only overhanging and actually not on your property and they don’t have to disturb you or touch any parts of your roof then nothing can be said or done, but if involved touching your roof then yes it’s not acceptable but it’s only something that can be discussed and agreed between you and your neighbour.

Constantin · Answer

They have to let you know about the work and the roofers have to guarantee that no damage will be done to your roof, that's how I usually do when I have a job like that.

Joe · Answer
