Nightmare Plumber Who lives Across The Road

[S0ldier]

Start to video, photo and log all the antics along with your neighbour and go back to the police, as in to the station, and speak to a higher ranking officer than a plod and show them. Anyway back to your relevant plumbing question?? What is it?

We’ve thought of setting up cameras, but the police basically said that it’s a personal problem and they’re not interested unless he actually breaks the law.

Are you a tiler/ spark ??

No I am not

 

[S0ldier]

As to how to plumb...or how to get rid of a pesky neighbour? Personally I would go polite and gentle at first then the vids, pics etc to police and if that did not work loose my size 11 boot up his arse.

I asked here because it’s a plumber forum. We’ve tried talking to him, but he seems to being doing these things either because he thinks it’s funny or??

If he is turning your water or gas off, or threatening anyone, then he is breaking the law.

If this is a genuine post , the fact he is messing with your gas is dangerous, I am pretty sure the police will get involved with this .

We told the police everything he has done, but they are uninterested unfortunately. All of this has been going on pretty much since we have moved in and only went to the police about 4 months ago.

What he does as a profession is irrelevant to that profession.

He keeps on turning our gas and water off,

If correct, that's quite alarming.

Not threatening as such, but he has caused what my mum would class as criminal damage however we don’t have much proof of it as such. The police were told about him turning our water and gas off, but they don’t seem to think it’s a criminal offence and say it’s a private matter

Yes, but my mother suggested that I find other plumbers as they might know what we can do.

Have you tried searching for a bailiff/enforcement officer forum?

I’d say the way he has behaved and the things he has done is very alarming. The thing is next door hasn’t really had any dealings with him as such either and he just seems to be doing it because he likes causing trouble

Really? Where is your water and gas isolators?
Trespassing, harassment and interfering with private property for essential supplies I would have thought was a tad bit illegal.
Any police that tell you otherwise, just go above them to a higher rank, as advised

I don’t really know what we can do, if anything and we don’t see why we should move because of him. If anything he should go

I’d imagine the gas is turned off outside in the box and we have a stop tap on the street. I haven’t been to the police myself, but my mother has. I’ll tell her, thanks

We can’t really help you.
Unless you want us to tell you what annoys us most.
Probably getting our tools robbed from van is one of them. Not suggesting you do that though!
No matter what you do to make a complaint, he will know eventually.
So just gather evidence, dates and times, what he did each time and video evidence.
How about also notifying local council?
