Ref the roof, youā€™ll be delighted to know that two thirds of it have been sorted.

I was though, advised (badly as it turns out) to remove a section of my bedroom wall to see if there was a leaking pipe causing some damp issues.

As it turns out the pipe is fine and Iā€™ve since been advised to remove another section of my wall to see if itā€™s another pipe thatā€™s causing the issue.

I am not doing that as my bedroom wall currently looks like itā€™s been attacked by Jaws.

Cheers.

    Keep us posted Ed. Its the not knowing that hurts the most.

    Sounds like theyā€™ve got your trousers down and trying to hit the prostate.

    Probably not what you want to hear right now Ed, but if itā€™s a pipe leaking youā€™re better off sorting it out sooner rather than later.

    We got a message from Affinity Water saying our bill had gone up significantly due to a massive increase in use over 6 months. We found a pipe was leaking (thankfully under the house) but it was literally pissing out water like a tap.

    Thing us we could hear it at different times of the day but I assumed it was our water softener unit purging. We got the excess bills written off and were lucky it had happened under the house where it was doing no damage. Repairing walls / floorboards / ceilings and redecorating due to a leaking pipe left unchecked will end up a massive cost - not to mention absolute ball-ache to resolve

    I bought a new build with some basic equipment - a kitchen set of cabinets and washing machine in other words. Was in my mid 20s and went in with not a lot. I was chasing an electric bill all the time I was there. Was told Iā€™ll get one once they sort out the connections to the properties properly. 18 months later Iā€™m still chasing the same company for a bill. Turns out they were charging my neighbour for my electricity - a fuck up in recording the meter IDs. Then they say they sorted it and billed me for a few thousand. Iā€™m like, ā€™Fuck you, Iā€™ve been trying to give you money for what I owe and youā€™ve been so shit about it you wouldnā€™t have known had I flagged the problem and continued overcharging some poor sod.'

    They then said theyā€™d give me a discount. Expletives followed. Ended up with them begging and no bill for the 18 months. Really took the piss.

      BlainSA meanwhile, Edā€™s merrily paying Ā£1,500 pcm next door without a by your leave.
