So 2024 is looking to be as much fun as 2023
Here is my latest dealings with North Kesteven Council!! 3 weeks before xmas we had a visit from the letable homes scheme lady , theyre our landlord and they came to inspect work done by Keir their contractors before Covid , the wet room that was fitted for himself and the major mould issues. Left her rather speechless when i showed her ..lol they had done nothing except fit a shower, tile a corner and tank the floor that was it . No repairs to the walls before they tiled no extra fan fitted no ceiling repairs they didnt even fit skirting board its a black mouldy disgusting mess i use gallons of mould remover , nothing does any good. Between that and the thick rust coming out of the hot water supply , which is nothing to do with them they say . I just give up , the kitchen ceiling now has a big bulge so somethings leaking but they say not , sons bedroom ceiling has started to grow mould as well but they think thats the guttering so they arranged for someone to do that the next day who never turned up and still hasnt . i had signed a huge list with the council lady of all the repairs they needed to do to bring it up to the letable homes scheme . The following day a surveyor from the builders turned up with a 2 item list of stuff they were going to do , i told him to go back and get the full list i had signed that took till a couple off days before xmas he then came back with another surveyor who was here looking at stuff in the roof and announced it was unsafe for the builders to work on the property!!!! over xmas they sent a letter from a different building firm saying they would need access on the 7th Jan on the 4th 2 builders turned up then another surveyor , they said they couldnt do the work either they would ring us . We have had 3 different companies send 4 surveyors who all say its too dangerous to work on the property ...i have to live in it . Theres no point of contact at the Council the women from letable homes walked out of her job and nobody else wants to talk about it . AAARRGGHHHHH
Blimey Kate you aren't half going through it!! why don' t you try and get local press to see it that might stir them up,, perhaps to move you. Hugs .Love from Valx
ReplyDeleteIt is quite shocking how society in general is falling apart. People seem to have started doing as little as possible with no regard for the payment they receive for their work, or the people that they are screwing over. I see it here in Canada , but not quite to the degree that you are experiencing. I know folks will have ideas for you , but that doesn't change the fact that your landlord is actually a slumlord and somehow they get paid to do it. I hope you can find some way to get through this.

ReplyDeleteOh dear. That is something unbelievable. I really really hope they will do all renovations needed. I can't understand how you manage to keep even that calm, I would have most likely exploded like abomb...
