Bridge tile put on my roof without permission

Question

Hello
A few years ago my neighbour (terrace property) raised there extension roof and the builder without permission placed the bridge tiles on-top of my roof.  At the time I challenged this with the builder and he assured me that the tiles had always been on top of my roof as I had no evidence I let the issue go even thought it has always annoyed me.  Recently I found a picture when I first moved into my property showing that the tiles were not on my roof.  I don’t want to upset my neighbours but I am not happy with the builder who misled me - do I have any recourse on this issue?  Thanks

No necessarily as will go down as a civil matter unfortunately but I’m sure no further damage was caused but do keep there company info for safe sides

Robin · Answer

You should have a word with your neighbours and ask them for the builders details who carried out the work and ask them to come and rectify the issue

Would always use a bonding gutter myself placing tiles  on top of another roof and rendering isn’t ideal nor long term 
  I would be  requesting  this course of action taken if not then speak to your neighbour about him agreeing to split the cost 
 Once that render fails your adjoining wall will take a lot of water intake

The builder should never have lied to you in first place if you still have the builders name send him photo but could be two years too late for that.
Thanks

Difficult to get any recourse Herbie, main concern is no damage to your roof, sounds like he most certainly used your roof as a convenience to save the labour of taking them down and carrying back up again. 
None the less he/we have no right using the neighbouring property without permission.

I would personally get over it and be a good neighbour by not creating any unnecessary conflict. It usually doesn't end in friendliness.

Thomas · Answer

As previously people have said the builder should of never lied to you in first place some builders are very clever to miss guiding you if you’ve got he’s contact just give him a call may be to late a call wouldn’t hurt and see what you can do with them

Ellis · Answer

I would ask the builder to come back and remove the tiles from the roof
