My Leak Just Gets Worse

Good morning everybody.....

The bathroom ceiling is falling down.

For those of you who are unaware a quick recap, in November Sara text me at work (when i worked at Carlsburg) to tell me we have a leak in the roof of the bathroom. So i left work and drove home at 4am to investigate. Phoned the letting agents that morning and told them of the leak. A few days passed the leak leaked, days turned into weeks weeks in to months, leak turned into waterfall down the wall, a nice feature but not doing the building any good. Christmas came and christmas went, January and still no news about repair. So i began calling agian to inform them of the problem. The snows came and melted (more water) the roof wept into the bathroom. Feburary came, a break thru i was told by Andrews Letting and Management that work was going to begin to fix the roof in 6-8 weeks. So it was now march and guess what not a lot had happened still leaked no sign of work being done, i still had to give them up dates on the leak, which had now stained the ceiling and caused it to go moldy, the extractor fan kept filling up with water (we had not had it on due to water and electricity not always getting on together). Then a couple of weeks ago i got home on a Monday evening after work and could smell the after effects of burning, in the bathroom i find a 4' by 3' hole in the ceiling, things arre looking good work has began !!! That was three weeks ago, the leak kept leaking and ruined different parts of the ceiling now and the extractor fan slowly started to come away from its fixings in the ceiling, now you up to date.

For the last two days we have had a lot of rain in Chelts, the leak has been working over time and flooding the bathroom floor, the extractor fan has slowly come more and more away from the ceiling, along with the plaster board it is screwed to. (Hard hats, waterproof shoes and umbrella's are not optional for using my bathroom anymore) I called Andrews Monday and advised them of the impending doom of the fan, they said they will get the builder out to have a look as soon as they could (he was busy doing other stuff) Last night before bed i test to see if the extractor fan is securely fixed to the ceiling still, and the servey says No!!! as the whole thing comes away from the ceiling and dangles in my hand. I have to wedge the door open and rest the fan on the top of it to stop it falling out completly and smashing on the floor. So this morning i left a message on Andrews answer phone letting them know what has happened and asked them to call me back at work. I await the call and will keep you informed as what happens next, so stay tuned kids.

Oh i also forgot to tell you that Sara and I were given a months free rent for the inconveinience of a leaky roof. Also during the whole leaky roof saga at no time had anyone from Andrews or the Landlords came to asses the problem. The lady from andrews came round to do her quartely check, but on that day it was not raining so she did not get to see the full extent of the problem.

I WANT TO MOVE !!!!!
