Gah!

I need to get hold of my deeds to find out if I can get anyone else to contribute towards the costs of sorting the pipe (which now seems to be corroded further up (although still within my flat).  However, my bank are telling me that they can't copy the deeds and give that copy to me, but they will let a solicitor look at them.

Can that possibly be right?  Or should I keep phoning them until I get a customer services person who will send them to me?

Anyone had to go through this themselves?

The Boy had some experience of this a few years ago: leaky pipe causing damage in the flat. He had to pay for the damage it had caused within the flat but got a statutory notice sent to other flats in the building and got the money back with no real problem. If you want to know more I'll quiz him and send you an email?

I think I'm ok for the moment (I spoke to someone at the council and have my deeds on order). I may give you a shout later though - thanks!

We've just discovered damp in our place :-(
Any reccomendations/warnings about any particular builders/plumbers?

Jackie's damp specialists, that she already recommended to Jo, are very good.

Any idea what the source is?

Yep. Traced it to the main riser for the stair.
which is lead...

So I guess it can either be patched or a full replacement started...
