Neighbours sky sat

30-05-2020 4:17pm #1

So I live in the so called link detached houses where the houses are linked through garages, garages onto the next person's tv room.

Well anyway got home the other day and I notice the neighbour has put a sky satellite up, it is put on their wall but over my garage roof.

What annoyed me is
1. They went onto my roof, ie Property without even asking my permission
2. They put it so low the lnb is nearly touching the roof tile which makes access to that area a lot more difficult and a new hazard to maneouver around, potentially cutting yourself off it
3. Its actually on my property, albeit I dont use it very often as I am not on that roof, sky wont install on the roof of their house over safety but had no problem taking the easy route and working off my house.

What would you even do in this situation, I am fairly annoyed about not even being asked

Have you a sledge hammer? Failing that sharpen your pitch fork!

Unless it was blocking a window, I would leave well enough alone.

OP, the effect on you in actual real terms is negligible or zero other than a hurt ego. Don't get me wrong I'd be a little annoyed too.

Would suggest to ask the neighbour politely that if they're doing any work in future you need a heads up and let them know as casually as you can that it was frustrating not to be asked in advance.

You'll know from the outcome of that conversation whether they're the type that doesn't give a feck about their relationship with their neighbour, or if they genuinely figured it would make no odds and perhaps wrongly didn't feel the need to ask.

Neighbours should be there for one another

Charlie19 · 30-05-2020 4:27pm

That's when good neighbors become good friends.

Just a friendly wave each morning, helps to make a better day

Yeah I don't even mind too much them using it, but they should have said it. Plus the fact they blocked the access to the back of roof by putting it so low, laziness out of sky as well.

Also hypothetically speaking what if the sky guy put his foot through the roof and injured himself, he'd probably claim off my insurance

you could try a wife swap and go from there.

It does but I'd have more respect and ask. I was changing a side window and i asked my neighbour on the opposite side last year

Burn their house down , probably burn a few more neighbours houses too , just to take the eye of yourself.

With a little understanding you can find the perfect blend

You could get a paper bag ask her to wear it and have Carmen Electras face on it :cool:

Take the eye?

I assume you mean edge,

You've put thought into this idea.

The person who doesn't ask is also the one who'll sue for compensation if they fell through the garage roof

Yeah exactly

Ask neighbour over for bbq, proceed to intentionally walk/jump/dive into satellite dish. They’ll take the hint.

seagull · 04-06-2020 5:21pm

If you want to be petty, give the dish a thump each time you walk past. Over time, it will be out of alignment and won't be able to pick up the satellite. If it's overhanging your property and getting in your way, ask them to move it.

OP, ignore this advice. It might sound sensible on the face of it, but you should never burn your neighbour's house down if it's attached to your own. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

Risingshadoo · 04-06-2020 6:10pm

Just remove it and install it in some other location. All's fair in love and war right?

misstearheus · 04-06-2020 8:20pm

Hah all the houses around me are kinda awkward-looking and sprawled all over the place. I don't own a TV myself and doubt I'll ever get one actually, but there is a Dish plonked on me Roof alright and if it is possible - I've a funny feeling it's serving a few Houses around me! One Neighbour one side who happens to be dark-skinned, jumps the Wall nowandagain and he hits a clatther wallop off it. I was a bit stunned at first but am used to it now. I wouldn't cause friction with a Neighbour over a Sky Dish though.
