The main snag is the scaffolding stops on my side - so not safe to
get round to 'their' side of this wall. I can get to the top of
this stone ok and of course my side and the front. But not to
their side. Where their flashing goes into it.

Roof ladder hooked onto their side of the roof adjacent to the
stone?

Absolutely not at my age. ;-)


Get a bit added onto to the scaffolding then... cheaper now than
having a whole new lot up later.


That would be up to my neighbours. I can't have scaffolding extended
onto their land.


I've had another look. Used a mirror to look at their side better. And
if anything it's in a worse state than my side. A couple of large
chunks just ready to fall off. Not quite sure how to proceed.


Can you get a photo of it (selfie stick?) and show them? They might be
keen to go halves on the scaffolding cost, sine the alternative to them
will be at least double later...


Yes. The problem is neither of them do anything even vaguely DIY, so I'm
not sure will understand. And I don't want to be in the position of being
responsible if anything goes wrong. Perhaps I'm just over thinking things.

Ideally, if I had good access, I'd remove the entire stone and cast up a
new one out of concrete. But as it is, likely just repair my side and the
top.
