MikeGrahamT21 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hi, I'm thinking of installing a Single Room MVHR to our new utility, which will protrude the garage wall by around 50-70mm if I remember right, and we have the option of either exhausting directly onto the neighbours garage (between the buildings there is around 700-800mm), or we can exhaust over his driveway. Now he has been very funny over the years, so I thought this was a sensible question before i crack out the old core drill. Are there any legal issues or come back potential here?

MikeGrahamT21 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Actually, I think a quick google has just revealed the answer to this one, its a no go! We can put it on the gable end either end, so I'll have a ponder about it and see what I can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Avoid it if at all possible. Nothing can overhang the boundary and you can't create a statutory nuisance (noise, excess steam, smells etc). The neighbour would also be within his rights to build right up to the boundary probably blocking the vent. Installing the vent might also be an issue - you have some rights to access his land for maintenance purposes but not for new work which this would be.

MikeGrahamT21 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 No problems, i'll go with the option of installing it in the back gable should we proceed, which will vent onto our own land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just checking that is a fan not a balanced flue? Going over your own land is the only answer. Fortunately they are easy to redesign slightly :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGrahamT21 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I ended up with a continuous extract fan (dMEV) venting out via a roof tile, not what i was after, but it does the job, and it only cost me £30! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
