When Should I Let Our Leasehold Neighbours Know They've Left Two Gaps In Our Render Separating Our Properties

As the installation of exterior wall insulation by our leasehold neighbours nears completion, the scaffolding still remains around both our properties (which a part of came crashing down in our back garden narrowly missing our glass back door and anyone sitting in our garden), but it appears that the builders have packed up their tools and moved on for now. I can’t help but notice two noticeable gaps left in the cement where our properties unite. These gaps, where chunks of cement have been removed, have sparked a dilemma in my mind about how to approach our neighbours about this issue.

I was wondering when the best time would be to bring this to their attention. Should I wait until they’ve officially wrapped up their project and the scaffolding comes down, or is it better to raise it now? It’s a small concern, but one that I feel is important to communicate for the sake of our shared property line.

TIA.

I think scaffolding is hired,supplied and erected and taken down by a separate firm than the actual builders so if any work needs doing its best to get it done now while the scaffolding is still there. So the sooner you speak to your neighbour the better

Nah, the doorstep cover was put down way before Sunday, plus the police said the Sunday two hour door knocking amounted to antisocial behaviour.

So how do you expect to address the issues you have if you don't go and speak to your neighbours. I don't understand why you're not doing that.

I will on the weekend. We (neighbours and us) keep missing each other due to going to work.

Let's hope they don't refuse to answer the door this weekend when you go round.

You called the police???

If you knew they'd been knocking every 15 mins since 8 am, you couldn't have been sleeping, so why not just get dressed and answer the door?

Because the OP is the difficult neighbour, I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbours put the house up for sale
