Thanks for your help Murdochat. I have just managed to find the email address of Jana Siber who is the managing director of British Gas I am told. I have just emailed her but we will see. We are totally in their hands! and are losing the will(as they say).

Hello all, We have a 10 year old downstairs shower set on the existing concrete floor of a 60's house. We have had signs of dampness on the other side of the wall which we think was probably caused by the failure of the tile grouting which is now dry. It had not been used for over a year to...
