Just been around to the next door neighbour as a courtesy to let her know we're having the flat roof on our garage replaced next year. The roof is attached to her property but the building isn't iyswim. We're effectively link detached. It's an enclosed carport and a garage door has been on it for as long as we have lived her (just over 5 years). There was a lot of work done in the past but TBH the roof could have done with replacing when we moved in. She looked concerned so I reassured her it would happen after the new year and that I didn't think it would take long to do but that there would be a bit of noise while it was completed. She still looked a bit huffy and said her house was sold to her as 'detached'. I said that the roof has always been attached. Explained I was a bit of a housing nerd and had looked at similar houses on the estate and their carports all attached one house to the other. Stated that we hadn't made any changes to the roof and I didn't think the builder who had done major extension work to the house a few years before us had either as the roof was knackered and donkeys years old. She said she didn't consent to anything being attached to her house. Reassured her that we weren't changing anything (the roof is already attached). Her response was 'we'll see' intimating that she was going to look into it further. AIBU in thinking we should just press on?
