Yikes!

Postby Kaz » 19 Jan 2018, 16:56

I got home from the supermarket to find two big holes in the kitchen ceiling, and Mick mopping up a load of hot water and plaster dust! :shock: He's suspected ever since the heating first started playing up that we had a leak in the system somewhere, snd this was confirmed when hot water started gushing through the ceiling :o :roll: :evil:

I've had to mop the kitchen floor a couple of times, to get rid of the plaster dust, but it's finally all gone 8-)

On the plus side, at least now it's been "found" and he's fixed it, so once we get the new boiler in on the 5th that *should* be it! :roll: :roll: :roll:

Eeeek, but thank goodness Mick was home and damage not more than it is - but wow.

Is the heating still working for now?

Yikes indeed!
Since Kaz said M had found and fixed the leak, I would assume it's all working :)

Yes, thank goodness he was home! :? I would not have known what to do, apart from switching off the water at the stopcock :oops: :roll:

Di is right, we do have heat, mercifully, but will need to find a plasterer :roll:

Well, such happenings can be somewhat upsetting, but I think you can be thankful that the damage isn't too bad.
It could have been a lot worse.

I hope you get it fixed without too much hassle.
