Thank you Tigercubrider for you in depth reply.

Here is the outside I dont know if the image is showing as the forum is playing up Ill also try this other service

I cannot tell what they are from because, I need access to the loft, but the tenant and his landlord will not allow access, my solicitor has to pursue them legally. If the cause of the damp was fixed, or is an old issue that was fixed. What would be the repair to the fault shown in the images...

The landlord of the flat above doesnt make the correct repairs, I dont belive he is qualified to do the work, I belive he does insubstaintial repairs, using cheap or tempory fixes. His tenants are also irresponsibile with mental health or behavioural issues, and their use of the fixtures may...

Neighbor is above, I don't want to get into the legal issues, I have a solicitor to do that, its part of a long case of disputes that are too long to go into. What I want to know is with continued flooding, what would be the repairs? I note Doggit says overboarding, I think this may not be...

I am not a tenant, I am a freeholder, if a leaseholder does not pay for damages you have to take them to court. Its not costs I am asking on the thread, Ill have to speak to local builders for the cost. What I want to know is what kind of repair would be done would be done if it was repaired...

Thank you your replies. If the ceiling was repaired by cutting out the damaged area of plasterboard, repaired etc, and the ceiling replastered and painted. If the flood happened again, to the same extent, what would be the repair? Do you keep cutting out the damaged area? I am trying to work...

Any ideas about what to do about this? What can be done as a fix? Does it have to be fixed from outside the property?

Can you tell from the pictures about the damp and cracks? could this be from an old issue? What has caused the cracks and patches?

I cant see behind the plasterboard, so not sure whats behind it.

Thank you for reply, yes, you can push the plasterboard up, it bulges/sags a little, Im not sure if its where two boards join, not sure whats behind the crack, Ill go and look when I next at the property.

The above pictures in the OP show the ceiling of the top floor hallway. I dont have any pictures from (inside the roof), as the leaseholder will not allow access, so my solisitor is pursuing them legally to gain access. I dont have pictures showing (outside the roof).

Its not just a quick fix to hold off the damage. I want to know what can be done to compleatly fix it. I want to know if it can be fixed without fixing from the outside of the building?

Part of a stone building has a section of wall that is made from wood, the bottom part has rotted away. (day light coming through hole) See image below Its on a third floor, difficult to get to by a ladder from the outside because there is an extension below, so would require scafolding. Can...

Here are some others of the ceiling. enhanced picture. this is what it actually looks like There is also cracking in the corner of the wall.

Damp and cracks in communal hallway, ceiling shown in image, roof is above the hallway ceiling. I have enhanced the image to make it more visible. Here is what it looks like in reality without photo enhancement exaggeration, and how it actually looks like in real life. The tenants and...

I have a hole in a ceiling from a water leak. See image below. Ruler is 30cm. What would you suggest to fix? Would you patch in the flaps or artex and paint, and try and make it invisible, after repairing the split between the plaster board? Or perhaps skim over the entire ceiling with plaster...
