Leak from apartment above

    Hi there,

    I'm living in a block of apartments all owned by the same landlord. There has been a leak in the bedroom, which I first noticed because of a wet patch extending from underneath the bed, which was against the wall. The management company came and looked at it and said my shower which is next to it needed to be resealed. However, a few days later I noticed damp on the edge of the ceiling, so it seems to have been coming from the apartment above.

    This was the first sign of damp on the ceiling so it seems like the water on the carpet had come down through the partition between the bedroom and bathroom and in on to the floor. The management company resealed my shower and the one in the apartment above, but didn't seem to think any more action was needed. I asked them to outline what they were planning to do bout the damp on the walls and floor, waiting to hear back. There is a socket in the partition so I'm a bit worried about this.

    Would anyone have any idea what checks or works might need to be carried out in such a case? Would a registered electrician need to declare the socket as safe? I'm worried they will get their own guy out and just say everything is grand.
