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)!

It will be fun when/if your new neighbours discover this thread :)

Hopefully they feel bad at that point.
