Need some help and advice really.... posted something earlier in chat but in my stressed state managed to hide the bloody thing... sorry.
So here I am... it's bad isn't it?
Started this morning with dh noticing our bedroom light hissing and fizzing and when we turned it off it went on and off and you could see a glow from the rose.
We turned all power off to upstairs lights at the trip switch.
I had two electricians come out. Both took down the rose and said it was absolutely soaking inside.
We do have a problem with severe condensation upstairs.. beads of water around the double glazed windows, black spots here and there that I spray with mould remover but they comeback. We have small patches of damp in the corners of ds and dds bedroom which have ruined the recent decorating we have done.
The electricians recommended we get a roofer out. I have rung several and waiting for them to come back to me.
We have £1000 in savings and dh earns fairly little. I am on maternity leave. This is going to wipe us out financially isn't it ?
We own the house (mortgaged). Could this even be claimed on insurance ? They are not open till Monday to ask.
Any advice welcomed. Feeling very depressed with it all.. just before Christmas too :( ... currently we have no lights upstairs as we are leaving the trip switch off as was advises by the electrician.
Thanks in advance.
