    thank you  - absolutely not arguing and have not blocked/stopped any work just asking for information - in actual fact, the building insurance loss adjuster has to visit for the damage caused to the flats below. I have been told by the ground floor flat that they have no leak anymore so all very confusing.

    I will actual ask for a status update if the repair has been actioned from one of the 5 plumbers who visited.

      

    Either I've misunderstood or you've misunderstood.

    If it's your wastepipe that's leaking, it's your problem. As soon as you knew about it, you should have been phoning plumbers to come and fix it.

    It's not the management company's problem. It's not their responsibility to instruct a plumber to repair your wastepipe.


    You need to be super-careful about what you say to the loss adjuster. You might dig a very big hole for yourself.
