Probably going to have this plastic roof replaced with a slightly sturdier polycarbonate version, as it's about a grand more than doing the door on its own. I would inform the neighbors prior to work obviously, but do I need to do it in some kind of legally formal way? I will not be changing the wall particularly, but it will be drill / fixed in to. It's just open to garden on their side, with another skin of bricks part way up and rendered (not amazingly well)
Also, should I consider any work to the interior of the wall to prevent damp? It doesn't suffer from condensation at the moment, but it's fairly cool out there. I imagine it'll be a step warmer after the work, though not heated, and we'll be drying clothes out there. I will have a solar powered fan installed in the new roof to draw air through from under the house as most of the vent bricks are enclosed by it.
