  • Anyone had some glass roof lights made for side returns? Trying to decide between two large panes and four velux windows.

  • Watch out for loft conversions. Our neighbours had a side return done with rooflights at the same time as we had our loft done. As both neared completion we realised we can look right down into their kitchen.

    I’ve often heard people talk about this but how much of an issue is it in practice? Often the window looking into the side return is a bathroom anyway so probably frosted?

    This is why I need a party wall surveyor, next door are extending their kitchen and it requires new foundations close to my building.

    Hilarious thing though, these huge sky light windows they've got in the plans will absolutely grant me full visibility of half their kitchen when I'm sat at my dining table on the first floor.

    I feel for my downstairs neighbour... I'm having the kitchen done, next door are extending their building for a larger kitchen, and next door the other way have just sold with planning permission for an extension... they may well have works in all 3 directions for 1-6 months whilst they work from home.
