How are they supporting the new ceiling? Surely this should come under a party wall agreement? If so they should put right any damage to your property.

Looks to me its going to be a pretty substantial L shaped dormer too.
Tbh nothing should really be falling away on your side of the house. My neighbours had their loft done recently and most of the time I had no idea they had work going on inside or out

Guys next to us are lowering the ceiling in their house for a new loft extension. I can hear them hammering away at the walls etc but also lots of debris falling into our side. Anything I can do, or just put up with it?
I've dropped the solicitor a line. They haven't served me notice but the work started this week. Didn't realise they were doing any work in the loft until today.
This all sounds so wrong. Presumably their loft conversion required planning permission, so you should have received a letter inviting your comments/objections. When our neighbours got a loft extension we had a party wall survey and award (at their expense) which involved the surveyer coming round to take photos of our side of the party wall so that they coul put right/pay for any damage caused by the work.
-
Loft conversions/extensions don't necessarily need planning permission, but they should have building control and if any work to shared wall you should have been notified to get a Party Wall agreement in place before work started. The three things work independently of each other and it's *possible* that no-one mentioned party wall to them and they didn't realise they needed it. Very dodgy of the builder though.
