I had no flooring laid down in my bedroom as you walked into the room for a long time in
between these years because my feet had fallen through the wooden floorboard.
In this time frame, my heating boiler started to also give me lots of issues and the council
replaced the main board more than once.

At the end of 2008 when the damp floorboards got lifted up in my bedroom I suffered the
floorboards in the bathroom getting lifted up and afterwards not laid back down correctly in a
timely and safe manner, I got told I could not get allowed back into to my bedroom but the
bathroom was ok to enter with boarding to walk on.
The reason that the floorboards could not get re-laid in my bedroom and bathroom was
because the bedroom radiator pipe leads to the other radiator in the bathroom, this is because
they both share a u bend under the floorboards into each other and the radiators are on
opposite sides of the wall from one and other!
The metal pipe had fractured under the floorboards causing each room to flood not noticeably
since I moved into my home, until detected.
This error caused me to lose water pressure in my boiler system, so this leaking water added
to the damp issues
when after noticed another survivor came out to my address to oversee the problem and
agreed for a new heating system to get installed thought the flat and order ordered for the
system to get decommissioned, so for the flat to be ready for the new installation, installation,
with an addition of a temporary temporary peace of wooding for the floor to get laid, as by
this stage I got left with no floor boards in the bathroom and bedroom inclusive of no
working heating apparatus as intended to get fixed and fitted and holes in my kitchen window
a bathroom window and a water collection machine.
No reasonable persons attended again for months until many more complaints went in again.
And a person attended and laid temporary, temporary flooring!
This lack of organisation on the Councils behalf and their subcontractors caused me to suffer.
After many complaints, the floors did get replaced.
In the months’ timeframe of 19 June 2015 and 31 July 2015, the initial main emergency
problems got finally addressed and the heating system got reinstated so to be rectified to a
degree but the damp still prosiest to occur even years after!
Mutable emergency repairs that must get met to the correct ISO standard of fair living
standards got neglected for years, at my loss of living.
The damage that my live got left in due to lack of negligence caused me sufferings because
off housing disrepair and surely is not acceptable.
Undone housing repairs getting left to incline rather than getting made to be that of a none
persistent issue, once reported to the councils reasonable persons caused these problems to
escalate and this neglect made it so that in the winter months my bedroom smelt of damp and
mouldy toxins, as an example of the extent of damage I suffered the

complete loss of my clothing, bed, and bedding, causing additional bills, electrical items, and
life’s stability also that of the extra house upkeep costs, and I lost mutable amounts of
personal memorabilia!
This damp over the years and trying for the first years to get the problems addressed caused
me, a great deal of stress and bad health.
In the time of me making my official complaints the Enfield Council came to their rented
address and the council explained to me, when they also see the extent of the living
conditions that they will upkeep the repairs in the flat to the correct living standards, without
