Slow leak in our en suite. Room to be stripped out. Can we still use bedroom?

[Zebracat]

Please excuse my clunky title. We discovered a slow leak in our en-suite about 2 months ago, caused by a fault in the hidden cistern. Plumber believes it has been ongoing for years. The room is an extension on the 1st floor and overhangs a shared access space.. Water damage is clearly visible in the overhang, once we looked up. Luckily we are covered by insurance, although progress has seemed slow. We have another bathroom so stayed in the bedroom, despite my misgivings about structural integrity, but stopped using the en suite.
Now we have builders coming on Friday, to strip out the room, including lifting the stone floor tiles and removing the cladding from the base of the overhang. This is to assess the extent of the damage.
I feel we need to bag up our possessions and move into dds room until the bathroom is rebuilt. I’m worried about mould spores , dust and being in the builders way. We have 3 bedrooms and a Dd away at university. We won’t fit in the 3rd bedroom so would need to move her stuff( she’s away) into it first. Her stuff is fairly well sorted as she’s on her year abroad and we had the room decorated. My Dh feels I’m overreacting. He thinks we should tidy stuff away a little, but see what the builders find. It may be months before the room is rebuilt. I’m worried that we’ll end up having to swap bedrooms any way , once the works begun and it will be a pickle.
I would really welcome other peoples opinion. We could ask the insurers, but I’m kind of worried it’s a dumb question, and they wont know or care. It’s tricky because a slow leak sounds trivial , but I don’t think this is.

You clearly want to move. So do it. Your DH can stay if he wants…you don’t need permission.

I don't think asking the insurers is silly, that's what they're trained to do.

Also, anything where you have to rip out tiles/floor is going to be very dusty/dirty. Yes I'd move into your daughters room, pack her stuff up and label it.

Thanks. I’m worried it will be bad , but I wasn’t sure. I don’t need permission, but I don’t want to do something if it’s not necessary , and I’ve not been in this position before.

Yeah anything like this is so bloody stressful. I hope you get a nice new bathroom out of it at least. Best of luck

Yes move rooms. Dust gets EVERYWHERE

Yes, move. The mess, dust, working space for them. Don’t think any more on it, just do it.

and book a cleaner for when they finish, and again for a week or two later because the dust will keep appearing!

There will be building dust everywhere. Take out what you need and seal cupboard doors with tape, then keep the spare room door closed.

Thanks so much for the help. We are swapping rooms round now. now. I thought my dds room would be easy to empty, hah, stuffed full of years worth of pure crap. Also found undiscovered hoards of bedding in the spare room. No idea what to do with it all. Dd is back for a week shortly , before term starts. She will be substantially reducing this pile of crap before we move her stuff back. It is like a giant game of jenga tho.
@Tortephant , No cash for a clean, but it’s really helped me prep thoroughly! @JaninefromEastenders thanks for the taping doors tip. We are on it.
