i bought an 1840 C listed building and had a recommended roofer inspect it before purchase. He said it would need routine maintenance but was fine and had lots of work already done. When I’ve been up in the attic the nails that stick through the sarking boards in some places are so rusted they...

Ok job done. Guys ended up pouring a slab as they found a rotten timber under the door frame in contact with the outside world . Moisture had been absorbed by the timber and regurgitated on top of the membrane and had wicked back and impacted the timber battens holding the chipboard floor. Some...

I can’t as the tiler has to get in tomorrow. I’ve accepted the quote work getting done tonight (Sunday) hey ho

No it was a dishwasher that dropped on the tiles. The rotten battens were only discovered when the skirtings were removed for tiling underneath them, I’m paying the 600 myself by the way not an insurance claim.

It was impact damage to tiles. Insurance are using their own contractor for tiling job, majority of kitchen out.

I have an ongoing insurance funded job to replace the tiles on my kitchen floor. At the back door double doors I have found that the 2x2 battens that sit on a membrane and to which the chipboard floor attaches have rotted ends, I can put my hand down where the skirting used to be and feel that...

I will get the flash photos

Ok so it was the pipes well done gasbanni and many thanks! problem is they are solvent welded into the soil pipe and there is only a very short straight coming out of the stack before it goes into the leaky bend structure. Can you undo a solvent weld or is there some kind of fitting I could use?

Thanks. I crumbled the flooring away from the waste pipe and made space for my hand. Although generally sound the chipboard was friable where it touched the pipe. I got a handful of ct1 and rubbed it where the union is. I then dried out the chipboard with a fan heater and ripped away that metal...

The pipe isn’t leaking. Could I claim Home insurance for this as Ken suggested?

I will but the wouldn’t explain why when dried the water appeared from the front as well as the back would it? Cheers.

In the picture above the wetness appears to come from below as a Tupperware dish in top stays dry

Thanks Ken. The humidity in the house is 40% to 50% and it isn’t hard to heat but it is a largish house over 2000 square feet. It s small downstairs bathroom. The weird thing is that in the wee box behind the toilet half the floor is dry and the other damp, in more or less a straight line...

Thanks guys - the boiler was losing pressure but is ok now and has been for weeks after having the expansion vessel pressurised. The pipes for the towel rail come down the wall and out to the rad a fair distance from the site. Yes ground floor and old barn conversion so big thick stone walls...

No it’s solid. I hooked my hand underneath where the soil pipe goes down and I found polystyrene under the chipboard. I had dried the whole area out but the water appeared again but seemingly from below, with no obvious source it could come from.

i recently found and fixed a leaking toilet cistern inlet. It was dripping onto a chipboard floor inside a boxed in section behind the toilet. It was probably dripping for a year. The floor began to dry out but one side stayed wet. I put a fan heater up to the hole where the toilet pipe goes...
