Hi, I rent my flat in a tenament in Edinburgh. An agency that lets the flat above (a top floor flat) is proving slow in terms of checking out a leak through a light fitting in my flat. Does anyone have experience of this? I'm assuming if the leak comes from above, which I don't see where else it could come from, their insurance will sort it. Their response so far has been "Let's see if it happens again".
Right now, they seem reluctant to say whether or not they've checked their pipes and under the floorboards, despite their tenant telling my tenant he has had pipe issues. I can get my plumber to check behind the light fitting but it really needs to be checked from above.
They did get a plumber report but he looked in their attic and got on the roof but doesn't seem to have checked under the floor. He did report a collection of pipes ion the roof wth no cover. See attached pics. Does anyone know what these are? Water can obviously get into these pipes when it rains if left uncovered. He replaced the cover. I assume this should be the council that addresses any roof issue and the letting agency that got the report should probably report this box with no cover to the Council.
Thanks for any advice or experiences with similar.
