Over flow pipe leak
So I own a first floor flat and each flat has our own water tank, the flat below mine has a large wet/damp patch on their wall around their tank over flow pipe, they informed me that the plumber could not find any issue with their water tank and that they could see it was coming from my overflow pipe, I had a plumber over straight after that who repaired the ball cock, but about a week later I notice the wall was wet again and it looked like drops of water were coming out of their overflow, I’ve had my plumber back again who checked my area thoroughly including my bathroom and said there were no issues in my flat and he said if it was ever my overflow pipe then my wall would have been wet too which it isn’t. We’ve had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks too so would this be keeping the wall wet, it looks really bad and the wall is starting to go black but I don’t know what else to do?

Responsibility for quality of work
Hi, I have a beauty salon opening in a couple weeks. I hired the same builder to install plumbing throughout the shop — which includes 5 pedicure benches, 3 utility sinks, and a bar area. Despite being hired 2.5 months ago, he just told me now that the boiler does not work — a couple weeks before planned opening and while I’m at the end of my budget. Firstly, how much of an issue can I make of it that the builder didn’t check the system far in advance of now, and secondly, is the boiler his responsibility (we agreed to him handling plumbing and this is for a £20,000+ full shop fitting/renovation) or mine? Of course, I should’ve thought to check when I signed the lease, but lesson learned. Thanks for any help!!!! - Cathy
