Jcorn Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Hello, My neighbours extension/conservatory was built many years ago and the block work is not very pretty at all. We've just had the patio done and wanted to get it sorted. The wall will be rendered but the top of it could be a bit of an issue and not sure what sort of trade could sort it, would it be bricklayer, roofer or the plasterer who renders it. What would be the best option? Was thinking aluminum coping but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Wot a bodge, I was going to say fix a large facia board over that crap at the top but they have plastic sloping your way so “their” water will run down your wall!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 It is not your problem to fix it properly. I might just hide it all behind tall fence panels and let them worry about where the water goes and what rots until they are willing to sort it out properly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcorn Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'm just thinking it will wreck the rendering if the water runs straight down it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA3222 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Absolutely honking having to look at that garbage when chilling out in your garden. I feel for you, as much as its their responsibility I suspect they don't care. So to get rid of that hideous wall some clever hiding needs to be done. Fence panel with trellis and some climbers going up it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Baton it and vertical timber clad to high enough to block it from view, and paint it your colour of choice! May be cheaper than render, and can't be blamed for any damp problems they may have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James94 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Not very pretty is an understatement, I’m surprised they were able to build that.before you do anything to the wall you need to sort out the water issue. Maybe show your neighbor that photo let them see what you have to look at every day and see if you can come to some agreement. I’d probably try taking there copings off and make them wider bridging your wall with a bit of overhang,might keep water away. Regards.

joe90 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) It looks like a cavity wall and that plastic has tears in it so the cavity will get wet!!!. Edited February 17, 2021 by joe90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I would build a fence totally independent of it, not touch it, fix to it otherwise they will blame you for any future water damage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 If you get on OK with them, ask what they think would be best. It needs something to stop the wall just getting soaked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
