  • 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

    Electric shower upgrade 8.5kW to 9.8kW

    I would like to replace my current Triton T80si pumped (8.5kW) with a Mira Elite SE (9.8kW). The current Triton shower wiring seems to be 6mm (tbc) on a 40A MCB (30 mA protected). I need to know if the Mira shower can be installed and if any of the electric setup needs work.

    Equipment Burning Out

    I've had to replace 5 new combi ovens. The microwave part of the oven burns out but the actual oven and grill remain in good working order. Could this be caused by faulty wiring that somehow damages the microwave but not the entire oven? I'm desperate to get to the root of this problem as I can't afford to keep replacing my combi ovens the last two of which were Kupperbusch and Hotpoint. Also worried that the wiring might be unsafe. Thank you
