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

[Treacle71]

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.

Sorry, does that mean yes or no?

Thank you, Rosetta.

[Treacle71]

No need to apologise, it's a yes.

You're hardly encouraging further contributions from folk willing to take the time to answer your question, are you?

[Smowball]

Can you post a photo of these holes for us?

[Treacle71]

I got my best answer now, THECORBYLOON 

[Treacle71]

I  just can't seem to, snowball.  I can zoom in on the photo enough.

[Treacle71]

I meant 'can't' zoom.

[Rosetta]

Thanks for BA treacle

If you have to zoom in on the photo to get a clear photo how big are the holes, fingernail or fist size?

[Treacle71]

You're welcome, Rosetta.  Thank you for respecting me xx

And btw, chunks of our plaster are on our back door step.

[DDIL]

Have you spoken to your neighbour?

[Treacle71]

Not yet. We still don't know if the builders are coming back or not as our neighbours aren't updating us. I also need to know if we can take off the taped cover they put down on our steps as it gets slippery especially for my 81 yo mum. They just put it down without asking if we're ok about it 🤷

[DDIL]

Perhaps they were trying to tell you when you refused to open the door on Sunday. They came back several times.

Perhaps your neighbours would update you if you went to speak to them.  Since you wouldn't open the door on Sunday I doubt they'll come to you,
