    Flat roof issue with neighbours

    Hi, we are currently renovating our house (bought 3 years ago )and building a extension to our kitchen (build notice/permitted development). Part of this involves replacing the current grp roof ( which has failed and leaks ). We are semi detached and our flat roof backs on to our neighbours flat roof on the party wall. Their roof is currently 6 inches higher than ours and the joint laps over our roof . We spoke to our neighbours yesterday and informed them of our intention to replace and raise our roof level to give us a little more head room in the new kitchen. They have said that we cannot do this as they a have a lifetime guarantee on their roof and that is if we alter the overlap it will invalidate their guarantee. Is this true? Also do they have the right to refuse permission? Finally as we are intending to raise the roof, would this come under the scope of a third party wall notice? Thanks in advance

    Single water supply into a block of 4 flats

    I have just bought a top floor flat in a Victorian building that can been converted into 4 flats. My builder found that there is only one water supply to the whole building, rather than to each flat. I have found that because of this, my water will constantly shut off (I’m assuming this is when someone else in the building is using the water). Is there anything that I can do about this?! Thanks in advance, Jo

    Loft insulation

    I have a bedroom which is part of an extension with 3 outer walls. The room Is freezing and I have cut a hole in the ceiling to see if there is loft insulation up there. There is 150mm, however they have placed it over the joists not in between them, meaning there is a gap between the ceiling plasterboard and insulation. Would this be the cause of the room being so cold? Will cold air from the eaves circulate in this space and cause the cold?

    Garage apartment

    Hi. We have a single detached garage with workshop with a driveway up to it. We're wanting to build a flat on top of it to allow one of our children to move out! It's so expensive here. Where do we start? Do we need an architect or can a builder undertake the project for us. We're not sure what the foundations are like. There is electricity but we'll need water and gas connected.
