next doors had ,their gardens terraced,the bottom terrace was block paved ,they left a gap of about 6ins between their terracing and theboundary fence which has two gravel boards and then a fence panels between each post. i noticed the wall of their terracing had no gaps for drainge (as i have in mine )and thought that this may cause a problem. I was right . when it rains the water seeps between the gravel boards like a tap fully open, and floods my patio. obviously the people who did their work didnt put in any drainage. when i questioned theneighbours , and showed them phone footage of this , they said it couldnt be there fault as drainage had been put in, and that they had documented proof . i called them around again tonight ,and they said that i should just accept it that water from their garden floods my patio . where do i stand on this legally . and what should be my next move.

As far as I am aware if the water floods and runs off the top of their patio then you have to accept the water flow and do something about it. If it is seepage from below ground then they have a duty to put in adequate drainage.

I would go to www.gardenlaw.co.uk and try there. They have many experts on this sort of thing.
