Internal damage caused during roof repairs

ET1976

My freeholder (council) is replacing my roof at the moment. This is the 3rd day of work and over the last 2 days some big chunks of plaster have fallen off my kitchen walls, and a radiator has fallen off one of the bedroom walls due to the plaster holding the bracket in place having come loose.

I think this has been caused by all the hammering etc from above (or it's a big coincidence).

Do you think I have any case for taking it up with the council, or will they just say 'your plaster's obviously cr*p, get it redone'?

Thanks!

Of course you have a case!

Do one or more of the foloowing. Take photos. Pay an independant surveyor (£100?) to come round and inspect/write you a report. Get a friend to look at it as an independant witness. Get several builders round to quote to make it all good, and ask them to put in their quote how the damage was caused.

The surveyor is best option, but is the only one which will cost you.

will probably cost me less just to fix it than to pay for a surveyor though...

have taken pics so far. perhaps I'll wait and see if anything else happens to see if it's worth taking it further.
