And the council are busy, and the lady on the emergency line can't tell me when someone will come to see it.
ARGH!
My bathroom ceiling was treated for damp just after Christmas. (was painted over with cream paint)
When they 'fixed' it last time they removed the tiles on my wall and i had to fix it.
Now there are holes, six of them, looks like someones hammered nails into the ceiling from the attic or something. and they are showering rain water into my bath (glad it is in the bathroom!)
Don't have ladders because my sis borrowed them, so ds lifted me up to see through the hatch to the attic, and I CAN SEE OUTSIDE.

Is it rainwater or has some of your plumbing burst?

PrammyMammy · 05/05/2009 18:32

Rain.. i think. There seems to be a hole in the roof(from what i can see) and it is pouring down.

PrammyMammy · 05/05/2009 18:58

In the roof? Do you think they have been nesting and caused the leak?

PrammyMammy · 05/05/2009 19:29

He's away.
Said it is a metal thing that connects the two flats at the corner that has broken.
But there is a hole in the wall where birds have been coming in and nesting in the rafters.
He put a sheet down to stop water leaking into the house untill someone can fix the roof. PITA
