If you take a look at the story of ‘neighbours’, I will give you all a follow up.
After the leak 3 years ago from neighbours, and the leak at 2008, fine, got insurance to renew my ceiling, actually my insurance paid for it.
I thought all was finished, as my insurance should have got their money back from neighbour insurance, until a letter posted through my door read, neighbour insurance is refusing to pay as the leak which came from their pipes was not their fault, and was not under negligence. My insurance wants more information, so I mentioned to them,
“Firstly, the pipes were not installed by a qualified plumber”
“Secondly, this is not the first leak, as it leaked when the pipes were installed”.
So my insurance went away, and next another letter, asking for more information.
I really don’t believe this.
So what is now worse, 3 months ago, their bathroom leaked again. He came out and had a look. Suppose to be fixed.
Two weeks later, the ceiling was leaking again, he had a look.
The neighbour said he would fix and repair my ceiling. My new ceiling is not black again, with brown lines, and their water was pouring down my wall. No word since.
So I went to his door about the mess of my ceiling and the leak,
I said,
“I will need to go to my insurance as my ceiling is not repaired”, as he asked me not to go to insurance he will fix.
His comment was, as he was drunk again, very regular occasion,
“Do what the F hell you want, I don’t give a shit, I am sick of you coming to my door complaining of our bathroom leaking, I am sick of it, and I will be leaving soon anyway”.
I really pissed off, as he is making it out as if it’s my fault their pipes keep leaking. He got abusive, started pointing fingers, in fact I said nothing really much, just kept asking when are they going to fix their pipes.
Next door came along whilst he was shouting in his drunken manner, and when she spoke she was a bit drunk as well.
You know, I am getting bloody well sick of people who gets pissed, talk shit, abusive and having a clue what the hell they are saying.
So I had to push her away, as I can only handle one person pissed around me, she was not against me, but I can’t talk to one abusive man drunk, and also one female, and if they start arguing, all hell!!!
After I pushed her out of the way, as he stepped down, pointed cursing, pointing fingers and starting threaten me. He just came out with all the insults he could think of.
So I walked away, and reported to police, only way I can sort this, is he him charged with abusive behaviour towards me.
But that is not the end of it. Few days after that, guess what, Yipe!!!
Water was dripping through my wall again, I really am in tears. I asked nextdoor to go and mention to them, as last time I got abuse. He knocked at door, she looked out at window and would not answer. He knocked again, no answer.
So I had to phone the fire brigade again.
They turned up and knocked at door, she never answered until well after 5 minutes.
On Sunday, get ready for all this.
His partner came down and asked to see the leak, to know where it’s coming from, I said to her,
“Tell you what, why not send your plumber down to have a look”,
She disappeared, and he came to the door.
I asked to see his plumbing certificate, nope he didn’t have one.
I asked to see his business card, nope he didn’t have one either.
So I said,
“Where is your works van”,
His comment
“I am doing a job further along the road, and I walked here, I just got a call from sozzle”
“So you know Sozzle then”, his comment
“Yes, he is a good friend of mine, he phoned me and asked to fix problem”.
My comment
“Well that says it all, doesn’t it”, so I closed the door on him.
Due to all this, I decided a month ago to involve a solicitor,
As 2 weeks ago it leaked again, I phoned my insurance about this and you can’t believe the conversation. I said it is the same leak as last year, her comment was,
“What proof do you have. If you want the ceiling fixed you will have to pay excess of £100”.
I said,
“What proof do they have that it wasn’t. I have not had the excess back on the one I paid in 2008”,
Her comment,
“The landlady insurance is refusing to pay, as they say it was not due to their negligence”,
I asked,
“So what you are trying to tell me, that I have to pay excess on every leak. If that is the case, I would have paid you by now £500, it would be cheaper if I pay for the plumber to fix the pipes myself”,
Her comment, something of the words
“That is an idea”
So I starting shouting, and I slammed the phone down. Bloody Stupid *********!!!!
You all wonder why I am becoming so pissed off lately !!!!!
You not going to believe this one, the landlady phoned the solicitor and said,
“How can the plumber fix the problem if she does not let plumber in to see where leak is coming from”. So I told the receptionist,
“No id”
“No proof of being a plumber”
“No van”, nothing
“In fact it was just Sozzle buddy fixing problem, which it has been since day one”.
The secretary went to speak to her, she returned the call, and said, it was just a friend of Sozzles doing a favour, she has now got a plumbing company called Rocky, and he will come up and have a look on Wednesday.
Between all this, the ceiling leaking again at 11, stopped at 2am, so altogether, leaked 6 times.
Day after speaking to receptionist, the pipes started leaking again, which was Sunday. Drives me insane!
Now you can see every nail on ceiling, found out what the circles were. On the 4th leak, my electric light stopped working, maybe because the water was running down the light.
One side above my shower, I have black spots which are spreading, 3 long water lines, and one straight from the light which is now brown. Mr Muchsoon unscrewed the lights, to fix electric and when the tub of the light came off all the water poured out. He fixed the light, and the shelves, as the water was running down, which makes the attachment loose as they fell off. So that cost me money.
Whole side of my wall had soapy water, dripping down I’ve had to clean it.
He said until they fix the leaking properly, it’s not worth a new ceiling, because it’s going to happen again, he suggested a heating bar, to dry until it’s all fix properly, halfway through this, as I said, it leaked again.
The plumber was supposed to arrive on Wednesday, but I had to go to Glasgow Dental hospital on Wednesday, so I mentioned this. At 9am, at the hospital, left my house at 4am, try and miss the rush hour. So I got back home at 1am, so I would not miss the plumber.
Then got a phone call, saying plumber can’t make Wednesday, needs to be Thursday.
On Thursday the plumber from Rocky, came up and had a look, after being upstairs. He had proof he was a qualified plumber, has a business card. In fact I never asked, because he had the suit with the name, and he gave me his name at the end and his number, so I know who came and had a look. He was very polite, but you not going to believe what he told me.
The landlady, does not want her tiles ruined to fix the pipe work. She has no access to the pipe as the bath is tiled all around, and she is not happy her tiles being removed. The young boy told me, if it really needs be and she still refuses, it may need to be fixed through your ceiling. Well that is what he told me, but someone said that is impossible. So I don’t know, as I am no plumber.
The plumbing got fixed by a plumber, so far anyway, and the director of the company came to take photos of my bathroom. He said the walls before will be rotted. As my insurance put a cover over the old one, and it looks as if the leak has spread on your kitchen ceiling as they both share the same wall. He was a really decent guy, he had all the proof of who he was in his hand. He has mentioned that it looks as if the leak as been there since the pipe work, 3 years ago, it’s the waste pipe, and the leak has just got worse.
To end this entire story, on Friday, The day coming back from Glasgow dental hospital rush to get back for the afternoon to see this plumber.
A letter in the post, 3 points on licence and £60 fine for doing a 40mph on 30mph.
So you all can tell how well pissed off I am, especially when the plumber changed the day to Thursday.
And to make matters even more worse, you won’t believe this one, I met some guy down the town one night, which knows Sozzle and his comment was,
“Stop giving Sozzle so much hassle”. If I had the baseball bat, I would smack him.
