Roofing

Roofer installed neighbours tiles onto our property

Our neighbour had his tiles replaced on his main roof and on a small extension that all the terrace houses have at the rear. His roofer cemented a hip onto our property (a new flat roof extension) and broke 2 of our tiles. We did not give permission for the neighbour's black tiles to be installed on our roof (which has red tiles) or give permission for the hip to be cemented to our felted roof. We have asked the roofer 4 times to remove the hip (carefully so it does not tear the felt) but he refuses as he says it will cost him money. We are in contact with the Guild of Master Craftsman to see if they could help but the roofer is not answering their letters. Yesterday, we received back the recorded delivery letter we sent to the roofers marked 'Refused'. Who is ultimately liable to restore our roof back to how it was before the roofer came onto our property and interfered with our tiles and flat roof? We have had a survey by an independent roofer who says that not only is the installation wrong and on our property but if the hip has to be removed it will would/could tear the felt on our new roof.
