Hurrah!

All's well that ends well.

Especially when they get a warrant, get a locksmith, break open the door, stop the flooding in the upstairs kitchen and all returns to normality.

Well, except that I'm going to sleep on the futon, my bed being somewhat moist.

Night all!

That's not too bad is it really? Under three hours. I'm impressed.

Any chances of compensation?

Probably not.

The idiots in the top flat of our stair flooded three kitchens below them by failing to mop up a washing machine spill when they were actually in the house and that still counted as accidental damage.

Here when someone damages your property they have to pay, its not important why it happened but what it did.
If they are not responsible for the damage they did, then they can claim against your claims on their house insurance.

If they dont have house insurance then it can get exspensive for them.
If your renting you will be expected to return the flat in the condition you got it, that means the you will have to report it and get someone to claim responsibilty. Or you will end up with the costs.

Anyway I hope it all gets sorted and that it doesn't cost you anything.
Good luck
