I know a bloke who bought a house - did no building work on it, but the next door neighbour claimed the Porch of his house slightly encroached on his land - and she was right.
This fella rather than sitting down with her and working it out, or spending £10k getting it sorted decided to fight her in court instead. He lost £50k in legal fees and then had to still spend the other £10k to get it sorted
All he had to do was try a load of khuntish things until he found the pressure point - and then negotiate - advantage Burns

Basically you need to be a khunt to him until you find his breaking point - that thing that irritates him so much that he is willing to negotiate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Failing that burn his house down
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the very least schitt on his drive each day
He's got a gun you say ! !
Invite traveller mates to use his drive way
I forgot, and once you are away about a year, return and pour the acid on his car, neat roundup on his lawn, rat poison baited steak in his dog run, dug scheite on his path. Once you've bought a new car, follow him to wherever he goes then once he's in the supermarket, bookie or whatever, foam filler up the exhaust, more acid assuming he got his resprayed, dug scheite on the door handle, rotten fish forced through the air grille that's under every windscreen, maybe a glass cutter score across the windscreen or bodywork, a tyre let down. This guy has cost you - it's payback time and you know where he lives! Keep doing this every year until that cvnt has to move too and incur the costs you did.
Anyway lads looking for some advice. This gooner next door to me keeps complaining about damp and me shooting pidgeons. Any advice?

Trying to fight it through insurance lawyers.
Have obtained quotes of repairs.
If I win that would mean he would have to install some type of drainage. Pay for that himself. Also pay for decorative repairs.
Yes this is the same bloke with a shooter who shhots pidgeons
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you live in fear of him he will treat you like someone who fears him.
buy some hydrochloric acid, pour it over any part of the drive that encroaches your land. in the short term it will corrode the parts that on your in the long term it could severely weaken the structure of the rest of the concrete and cause it to crumble.

The driveway level should be at least 150mm (2 bricks) below the DPC according to British Standards. In cases where this isn't realistically possible, suitable measures should be taken to ensure that the DPC isn't breached. This would usually mean either an ACO drainage channel against the property wall, (which would need to be connected into a drainage gully) or a gravel trap/strip against the property to act as a soakaway.
However, if the driveway is above the DPC level, neither of the above are likely to be a suitable fix and the driveway level would need dropping.
The difficulty of putting in ACO drainage channel or gravel strip against the house at this stage depends on what surfacing is down. If it is block paving, it isn't too much of a hassle to take up a section against the wall and relay, allowing the the drainage channel/gravel strip. If the surface is tarmac or resin bound gravel, the job becomes more difficult, as you can't patch into those surfacing materials without seeing the join. So any strip that is taken out needs to be cut very precisely. But it can still be done.
I would think that in legal terms you would possibly have recourse with the driveway installer. They are the expect contractor. If they have advised your neighbour incorrectly and installed outsides the British Standards then you might want to be contacting them first to see what they are going to do about it. If it is just lifting a relaying a few blocks whilst putting some kind of drainage in then it isn't a big job. They might be less happy to do anything if the surface if tarmac/concrete/resin bound gravel.
Tell him the problem,
That its causing damage
That its going to cost him
The longer it goes on, the more it will cost.
What needs doing to prevent further damage and to rectify the existing damage.
If that fails, have someone brick his windows every other day until he agrees.
If you are worried about him being annoyed at you removing part of his driveway, then the first logical step would be to set his car alight. Then he would not need the driveway so would be a lot less confrontational. You don't always have to fight with your neighbours over these things, you can just take steps to make things more harmonious.

Depends on what the contractor is like. If they are worried about their reputation in the local area then he will have some leverage to get them to sort it and it would be the quickest and easiest way. If not then he might have to go after the neighbour - but as the neighbour doesn't seem to be interested, it would definitely be worth trying the contractor before going legal.
To be boring and give you a sensible answer, when doing any work along a boundary this would come under the Party Wall Act (I was a party wall surveyor in a previous life) He would have to serve you notice and then the works are agreed (or disputed) between you. The Party Wall Award which details the agreed works then form a legally binding document which your neighbour has to follow. This would have detailed how the works were to be undertaken and what measures were put in place to protect your property, which in this instance would be to not breach your DPC. Go to your lawyer, you have all the reasonable grounds to injunct him. It's not pretty but he can't get away with affecting your property.

That its going to cost him
The longer it goes on, the more it will cost.
What needs doing to prevent further damage and to rectify the existing damage.
If that fails, have someone brick his windows every other day until he agrees.

If you are worried about him being annoyed at you removing part of his driveway, then the first logical step would be to set his car alight. Then he would not need the driveway so would be a lot less confrontational. You don't always have to fight with your neighbours over these things, you can just take steps to make things more harmonious.

The driveway level should be at least 150mm (2 bricks) below the DPC according to British Standards. In cases where this isn't realistically possible, suitable measures should be taken to ensure that the DPC isn't breached. This would usually mean either an ACO drainage channel against the property wall, (which would need to be connected into a drainage gully) or a gravel trap/strip against the property to act as a soakaway.
However, if the driveway is above the DPC level, neither of the above are likely to be a suitable fix and the driveway level would need dropping.
The difficulty of putting in ACO drainage channel or gravel strip against the house at this stage depends on what surfacing is down. If it is block paving, it isn't too much of a hassle to take up a section against the wall and relay, allowing the the drainage channel/gravel strip. If the surface is tarmac or resin bound gravel, the job becomes more difficult, as you can't patch into those surfacing materials without seeing the join. So any strip that is taken out needs to be cut very precisely. But it can still be done.
I would think that in legal terms you would possibly have recourse with the driveway installer. They are the expect contractor. If they have advised your neighbour incorrectly and installed outsides the British Standards then you might want to be contacting them first to see what they are going to do about it. If it is just lifting a relaying a few blocks whilst putting some kind of drainage in then it isn't a big job. They might be less happy to do anything if the surface if tarmac/concrete/resin bound gravel.

Fack that. It's HIS problem. If he wants to take it up with his contractor that's up to him. In the meantime take the legal action against HIM.
Sakes.

Depends on what the contractor is like. If they are worried about their reputation in the local area then he will have some leverage to get them to sort it and it would be the quickest and easiest way. If not then he might have to go after the neighbour - but as the neighbour doesn't seem to be interested, it would definitely be worth trying the contractor before going legal.

To be boring and give you a sensible answer, when doing any work along a boundary this would come under the Party Wall Act (I was a party wall surveyor in a previous life) He would have to serve you notice and then the works are agreed (or disputed) between you. The Party Wall Award which details the agreed works then form a legally binding document which your neighbour has to follow. This would have detailed how the works were to be undertaken and what measures were put in place to protect your property, which in this instance would be to not breach your DPC. Go to your lawyer, you have all the reasonable grounds to injunct him. It's not pretty but he can't get away with affecting your property.
