A question about : who is responsible?

Hi all,

I am having a loft conversion done that has just really started and was wondering if i were to get a bad leak into a current bedroom beneath the work, (for instance if it wasn't covered properly) is it my responsibility to repair it or the person doing the work as it's their job to cover it and surely make it water tight before they leave each day? Please help!! As there is a storm on the way......(

Thanks lilminx

A question about : Ridge tiles come off and noise coming from chimney

Hoping someone can help me

I have a few ridge tiles which have blown off with the storm, just waiting for someone to come round to look at it, but it's started raining now, should I be worried?

Also, directly behind our gas fireplace there is a noise coming from the chimney, like a crackling sound, when I put the fire on it made the sound worse. Any ideas?

A question about : Roof damage question

We live in a bottom floor flat ( it's a house with 4 in a block ; so 2 houses on the first floor, 2 on the bottom floor) - not sure if 4 in a block is the correct technical term.

Anyway, today's storm brought a big of damage and some of the slates have fallen off the roof. The neighbour above us came and spoke to us tonight and asked that we pay in 50% of the total bill.

A question about : How many posts?

Fence posts failed that is.
More important though, any advice on how to prevent fence posts rotting at ground level? I have 3 posts to replace next week assuming no more fail in the storms.

A question about : Highway Surface Water

A question about : Ridge Tiles Smashed Into Car

Hi

Ridge tiles have flown of of our roof and have smashed the back window of our car on the drive - double whammy.

Our current thoughts are to look at our insurance policies for house / car, contact them. Also considering options of contacting local repair men.

I was wondering if anyone has some alternative advice, or anything unforeseen - for example would there be a problem with two separate insurance companies involved?

Thanks.
