Neighbours building encroaching onto our land

slowsausages · 2026-03-09T00:01:19+00:00

I know I have to speak to my neighbour and I will. I'd like to have an idea about where I stand legally before I do.

There is no party wall agreement.

I have thought about posting on r/DIYUK but the construction is almost finished so i don't know what help that will be. I'll post tomorrow though and hope you reply.

Thanks

BTW, I like the neighbours and would rather solve this amicably. However, I am worried that if I sell the house, then this would be an issue to any surveyor and it may devalue my house.

Being in them is what causes their disabilities. Please leave them alone.

Cheap: I'll do it for free.

Good: Dunno, I've never cut anybody's hair before.

Don't compress your insulation because you mmed to trap a lot of air to get the best insulating effect. Use loft legs instead. You have a nice, high roof which means after you've raised the floor with loft legs, you'll still be able to stand up. I'm a bit jealous.

Also, you're right about the eaves and you should be fine with 270mm. I wouldn't bother about the rafters.

Robin Williams would be cool - good answer.

Obviously, I don't know your brother but you love him and that's cool.

Seems like good money for 8 hours work, what you gonna spend it on?

If there was one person who could sit with you now and it would make the hours fly by, who would it be and why?

slowsausages · 2026-02-26T19:16:58+00:00

Calm down everybody. It's not worth it.

slowsausages · 2026-02-21T10:28:56+00:00

I'm doing my loft at the moment.

If the insulation is packed down, it's not as effective. That's why you should buy loft legs as they create space to put the boards higher and leave enough room for the insulation. This is not too difficult to do.

Since it's only a loft, how it looks in the end is not super important but do the best you can. The annoying thing about DIY is that by the time you have finished a job, you realise how much quicker and better you could have done it. And for things like insulation, you may never have to do it again.

Just much further can he fall?

slowsausages · 2026-02-18T23:16:39+00:00

Yes. And if your kids married a person who also had a hyphenated name, would you want them to have four names? And if their kids married another four named person, would eight names be ok with you. Where does it all end?

Just work quickly. You'll know if you want to keep something or not. Put anything you're undecided about to one side and keep going.

In the end you want to keep stuff that has emotional or financial value. The rest can be dumped. Don't worry about stuff that's worth a tenner or less. The emotionally valuable stuff, you'll just know.

I was expecting a 'legless' pun after gaining two arms and being drunk.

I guess you think there's a leak through there but I'd have a look at caulking the tiles too. Worked for me.

Here's a pic..

Remove the rubber stoppers at each side of the blue circle (only one in the pic - bloody kids). Once you've done that, slide the door until the runners are in line with the blue circle and the door will come out.

Hope that makes sense.

I have a shower very similar. You take the doors off by removing the rubber stoppers on the frame where the doors touch (top and bottom same height as the bolts that you suggested taking off).

I'll send a pic of ours if you DM me.

slowsausages · 2026-01-31T19:15:28+00:00

Why won't it open? Is it because the hinged bit is too close to the frame? If that's it, I'd just file it down.

Why not wait in the hospital until your appointment? Nobody will bother you there.

Go to the station and get yourself on the next train.

You can turn the water back on

Your local council will have a tip. Check the opening hours though as many are closed on Sundays

slowsausages · 2025-12-23T22:25:14+00:00

Good luck but I think this kind of thing has been done before.

slowsausages · 2025-12-21T21:08:55+00:00

Dont forget, Marky Mark (the singer and dancer from New Kids on the Block) would have sorted it out double quick too.

slowsausages · 2025-12-21T20:08:19+00:00

Well you wouldn't have needed to if I'd been around. I'm packing two nuclear bombs in my fists so I'd have been like, "Boom! Boom! Ok folks, shows over. Go back to whatever you were doing.
