We need a new gas boiler fitted and the Gas Boiler Installation Company need to fit 22m pipes to replace the old 15mm pipes - new legal requirement ( house is 20 years old )
The easiest route is to clip the new pipe from the mains along my outer wall. However the gap between my house and the jointly owned fence is only 8 inches thereby making access to my neighbours land necessary for approximately one hour. ( Remove fence - clip pipe - Replace fence )
I am sure the 1992 Neighbours Access Act would cover such essential maintenance to preserve our heating system.
The Boiler and Flue is on my property .
We intend speaking with our neighbour in a calm manner but past experience has taught us to expect a negative reaction.
I prefer not to go down the legal route - Court Orders etc .., but we must have this heating upgrade otherwise the house systems will not work properly.
Any suggestions on the way forward.
