Sky Installation on upstairs chimney

Colin_London

Shared chimneys on semi detached houses are easy to demarcate - half clearly belongs to one property and half to the other. As long as you install your aerial on one side and your neighbour the other, and turn a blind eye to each others lashings, there is no problem. Communal blocks on the other hand are the subject of lease agreements and covenants regarding responsibility for communal facilities (e.g. Upkeep of the roof).

Blocks often have communal aerials to avoid a proliferation of aerials but in the OPs case there doesn't seem to have been such an arrangement so maybe sometime in the past it was agreed that the chimney could be used by everyone for their own aerial. However if this will be the first dish that will be a different matter. Dishes do take up more space and exert more load on the structure, and some residents just don't like their appearance.

I had to pay £600 to get my share of chimney fixed, I'd go mental if sky drilled a flying saucer on it
