Can I lift a neighbours tile in order to repair our joint roof
We share a concrete tile roof with our neighbour with the boundary running between rafters on each of the properties. We suspected one of the rafters on our side was rotten and had our roof stripped down to find the extend of the damage, get it repaired and replace the tiles. We did advise the neighbour that the work was going to be carried out. However in order to replace the batons the contractor also removed a line of the neighbours tiles. The work was finished, everything replaced and no damage caused. I apologised for not informing their tiles would be lifted as I wasn't aware they would but the neighbour insists we shouldn't have touched their tiles and wants us to accept liability for any roof repairs they may need in the future. Was my contractor correct in what they did and was I obliged to give more notice I did?
