House boundary dispute

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following. Basically i own a terrace house that has some white cladding on the front of it (not nice i know). Anyway I had sky installed this weekend and the sky engineer drilled a hole out of my wall to put the aerial through. The hole on the outside the house is not on my white cladding its on next doors brick. I thought at first that Sky had messed up but i've measured and it looks like the cladding doesn't go right to the edge of my house so what looks like next doors brick is still in fact my house. Do next door have a right to complain as it does look from the outside that i've drilled a hole in their wall and its only with a tape measure that you can prove i haven't!
Any advice would be appreciated on this?

Have next door actually complained and no if your property.0

Not yet but i'm pretty certain they will when they notice! Problem is even though it is my house, i don't want to have bad relations with the neighbours!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

Pre-emptive strike needed. Go next door and apologise with a bottle of whiskey. Don't get out the tape measure unless you absolutely have to.0

ahh but if you did this it looks like there is something to apologise for - when in fact its his house and not theirs so no apology neededPeople seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

It doesn't matter what it looks like, or what the neighbours think, just so long as it is actually on your wall and not theirs.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
