Neighbours Roofer Carried Out Repairs On My Roof
I live in a terraced house, there is a skew between us and next door. Next door is rented, few weeks ago the landlord said he'd had front skew repaired (we'd seen they'd been getting repairs, no idea what exactly, the scaffolding just appeared one day), the back one needed doing and would we go halves. I asked him to send me the quotes he gets, he laughed and said he'd get his builder to do it. Turns out his 'builder' is a local handy man. I've since had two roofers to look at the roof, the skew definitely needs work, but the 'builder' who did the front skew has bodged it, and carried out work on our roof at the side of the skew, that now needs fixed. Where do I stand on 1) getting next door to pay for putting the dodgy work put right, and 2) stopping them doing any more work on our side of the roof? I'm having visions of coming home one day and them up on the roof without asking again, same as when the front was done!

How much weight can a garage roof hold?
I'd rather not start the year off by falling through a roof, so Is it safe to walk on a garage roof without damaging it? It is a flat felt roof and I need to get up there for a quick job, but I’m worried about it sagging or giving way under my weight.

Dry verge roof system without permission
Hi. Should my neighbour have consulted with me over a roof issue. They had a dry verge system installed on the roof ridge that joins our house. Aside from not informing us the job seems a little less than satisfactory as the ridge is now not flat. Also some mortar on our side is still showing
