Hello everybody,

I'm a fencer, domestic only, I've got to replace an existing fence next to a mainly confier hedge, that's past it's best, this belongs to a neighbouring stud (one of the big ones), the client notified them of the fence work, they've then stipulated that the fence posts must be put back into the existing holes ( i'd have thought it had stuff all to do with them) so as not to damage the hedge, so I thought i'd get both parties to sign a disclaimer, so I wasn't liable for any damage to the hedge, during the work or in the future, has anyone else had anything written up like this, or found a template online ? cheers, Martin

    Put the posts in anywhere along the boundary line as you wish, if you need to cut the hedge back that’s encroaching on your clients side then so be it. Personally I wouldn’t put posts into existing holes. The conifer hedge may suffer on the client’s side ( depending on what type of conifer it is ), but it shouldn’t detriment the neighbours side at all.

    Martin, everyone I do work I  a boundary.... Hedge cutting in suburbia and defi ately fencing I insist on an email from the other neighbour acknowledging what is happening. So I think you are doing the right thing. 

    But no I don't have any any proforma for this

    Doing a quick Google search, it looks like, as in branches, you're completely within your right to cut through any roots that encroach from a neighbouring property so there really should be any problem as long as the holes are completely on your side.
