It's 5 Months On

5 months ago that I reported water coming in through the bathroom ceiling which the Council man with no ID (apparently he was a surveyor but had no torch or even phone cam to take images on) confirmed was a leak -which he claimed was due to a cluttered external guttering pouring water on the ceiling -meaning the guttering was fixed too high and slanted UNDER the roof.

This man also confirmed the gap in the roof. I was so relieved it was just not my imagination. :-/

And he confirmed the damp/wet wall where paint had bubbled up.

What did this incompetent ass do? Nothing, He had no step ladder to get into the attic so I provided one. He had no torch. I provided one. He never even entered the loft to inspect theinternal site of the leak.  I have never known a council surveyor to not have a cell phone with camera to take images for reports. This joker had nothing -not even his council ID.

Three weeks AFTER he said plumbers would call to look at the guttering two shabbily dressed men with no idea of any kind nor step ladder to get to the guttering turned up. That is two weeks after I was told no job had been put in and I cleaned the gutterings myself.

Absolutely no record of a surveyor noting a gap in the roof and certainly nothing about a roofer needing to call to inspect it. THREE times I have talked to repairs -who did not want to talk to me as they wanted everything via the online questionaire- and told them I want to roof gap fixed and asked what happens about the damaged ceiling. NOTHING.

Today I find that not one of my calls has been recorded. Nothing about a gap in the roof or damaged ceiling.

If this were a private landlord Mayor Rees and the so called head of 'estate management' would be spouting their "shoddy private landlord" speech.

Bristol City Council IS a shoddy landlord.
