Landlord won't fix floorboards coming up in my kitchen what should I do?

It was dripping from behind the washing machine- the seal had gone I think the workman said. That is fixed now though but not the laminate flooring.

Just to be clear, who's washing machine is it, yours or the landlords?

The reason I ask that if the washing machine caused the damage then whoever owns the machine is responsible for the damage.

Assuming that it belongs to the landlord then Pixies link earlier in the thread has lots of useful information in it. There are template letters here https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/repairs/how_to_report_repairs_to_a_private_landlord. You need to request the repair in writing making sure your letter is dated. You need to give the landlord reasonable time to make the repairs, literally state in the letter what time frame you expect it to be done in. For the purpose of this letter the time that has elapsed since making a verbal request doesn't count. If the repairs are not carried out in the time frame you then need to look at your options to escalate but you can research that if it gets to it.
