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

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.

I think scaffolding is hired,supplied and erected and taken down by a separate firm than the actual builders so if any work needs doing its best to get it done now while the scaffolding is still there. So the sooner you speak to your neighbour the better

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

Can you post a photo of these holes for us?

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

I meant 'can't' zoom.

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?

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