Bathroom Ceiling about to fall down

Did you 'Small Claims' him for the previous £800 balance? If not, you should have. It might have focussed his mind.

I have emailed my neighbour with the same photo I uploaded here. He has checked his shower and doesn't think there is a new leak. He has put down some extra sealant just in case, and will be around next week to have a look at my hall ceiling. I didn't need a court case last time, he paid the remaining £800, eventually. I'm thinking if the ceiling does come down, he would have to cough up and pay for it to be fixed. I would take him to the small claims court otherwise, especially as I have photo evidence. There is carpet in my hall, so I imagine that would be damaged as well. Not utterly convinced he has been checking diligently.0

Also have evidence that you have informed him, and when.0
