A little advice please, theour neighbours wall was damaged and they have called in workmen to replace the wall. The damaged bricks were removed, and they damaged our fence panel which they said they would replace.
The next day they asked to remove this which we agreed, they brought in a digger to remove the foundations, what we had not been aware of was that the wall had been built on our land, as this was behind a 20 ft shed in removing the foundations they dug into our garden leaving a trench about three foot wide and two foot deep. This has gone about a foot under the back of the shed, which has stood for about 40 years, this has caused the floor to slightly. We have been assured that once the wall is rebuilt it will be in the correct position but my concern is that this work is going to take about 4 weeks and I am not sure that our shed will withstand the time not being on secure ground. Would they be liable for a new shed if it subsides?
