Hi


Wonder if anyone knows the answer to this. My neighbours have a side return to the side of my property, and I need to access the wall above the side return (my wall) to maintain guttering and pointing. Clearly it is not possible to put a ladder down or traditional scaffolding. Anyone know if scaffolding can be cantilevered from one side? Presume this is a relatively common problem here in side return mad ED?


Thanks

I'm guessing that many of the extensions along the side return are so new the problem may not have surfaced yet.


So I'm thinking that you have a two storey extensions is that right?


Does the wall form part of the boundary between your two properties? I.e. is it a party wall?


How does the glass extension of the neighbour's house work? Is it free standing? Connected to your wall? How is the space between the two properties usually cleaned?


Cantilevered scaffolding is possible, but if it overhangs the neighbouring property you need their permission, and they may be unwilling to give it over a glass roof!


Got any photos for clarity?

Thanks. Will see if I can get some photos. Their side return is one and a half height storey height. It joins the party wall with our house. The bit I need to get access to is the remaining one and a half storeys from the top of my house - although technically if this is a party wall do they have an obligation to maintain this as well???

    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay. 
    • I'm not on the WhatsApp group ,and he only appears every now and again but does look like he's needs a good home and is not neutered. 
    • Why are you so rude? What has race got to do with anything? That's got nothing to do with whether or not a description is posted on here  The OP said the cyclist was being pursued by the police. If that's the case, then the police will presumably have his  description, including skin colour  If you think you encountered the same cyclist and could have been seriously hurt, then tell the police. And you have lost your bet, btw. You know nothing at all about me or my background except what I have posted on this forum,  and are making assumptions based on what appears to be a total lack of understanding of the reasons for my posts.
    • Worth posting on local street Whatsapp groups? Guessing no info from door knocking.  Those def look like unneutered Tom cat cheeks. Would be brilliant if a rescue could trap and at least neuter and return if he's a stray. Ideally find him a home - he'll settle more when neutered. Poor chap xxx    HP
