Hi Many thanks for the reply. We certainly do not want to go down the council route but gives us more options if needed. We have their builders number so will talk through our concerns with him directly to try sort it, they have changed their tune slightly and say the flashing is ok but needs to be pointed to seal it on our wall and that is what they want us to pay for. We would not need the flashing if it was not for the garage so still should be down to them but all so petty. We also need to re-align our fall pipe which would involve access on to their garage roof but their builder is not prepared to do that work at same time so we need to arrange for someone to do that job before the guttering is fixed. all very messy Thanks again

So the saga continues ! We contacted next door and they got someone out to inspect the guttering and have now come back to us saying they will get the guttering done but will not do the flashing above the gutter as this is on our house and down to us ! Sure that is against building regs ? We have tried our house insurance but not got far with them yet.

Thanks both

Hi, many thanks for your reply the drainage from the garage roof goes to the far end of the garage where it goes into a fall pipe on next doors property. The Downpipe you can see is from a valley between roofs on our house, there is also a waste pipe that comes from our bathroom which comes out over the neighbours property down the side of the house and back into our property, none of this is in the deeds. we move here last year and the neighbours moved in 3 years ago regards

Thanks will talk to neighbours

Hi i have a damp issue on a party wall that looks like it is being caused by poor guttering from next doors garage which is attached to the party wall. The party wall is on my property and part of my Victorian house but some time later a garage has been attached to the wall and the roof from that and the guttering is poorly maintained and now causing damp. We have already had issues with neighbours over taking down a conifer hedge that was causing damage to drains so need to tread carefully. Any advice would be appreciated
