In my opinion this is not your neighbours' falt, but the builders. If the Sky engineer spoke with them, I'd be asking them for the money, not the neighbours who didn't put the scaffolding up.


I appreciate that this is very annoying for you, but to them it's probably pretty far down the list of things to worry about at this time.

Of course you can! If you can prove their scaffolding caused your Sky to fail then they will just pay up!


You need it in writing from the sky engineer that this was the cause. Once you have that I think they will be unlikely to argue.


If you PM me their names I will check out what kind of lawyers they are - other than in inconsiderate ones!

But it's not enforceable?

Based on the fact that they have already repeatedly ignored requests?

Good luck with that! Most incomers start using local forums before they move to an area precisely to find out more about It (and then promptly stop using it when they move in)!

    • I am an experienced, self-employed gardener and I have been maintaining gardens in East Dulwich and the surrounding area for the last few years.  I am now starting to move away from garden maintenance work in order to specialise in garden consultancy and design. The combination of my design background and love of plants makes this a natural progression for me. I can provide my clients with: Bespoke, on-site garden consultations (one-off or seasonal) - Plant advice e.g. pruning/dividing/training demonstrations, advice on growing problems, what plant where, container gardens. Design - Ideas to revamp an outside space, drawings of new layouts, site specific planting plans. For examples of my work please visit Instagram: gardening_services1 Feel free to get in touch if you think I may be able to help you: 07580364256 All the best Clare  
    • How many Premier League football stadiums are there in London?  40,000 people plus coming into residential areas every week. 
    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel.  This forum is anything but positive.  I was being a little mischievous.  Yes loud DIY projects and builders working out of hours does get my goat.  But not enough to start a thread of proper rant.
