My flat got inspected on Wednesday and I intend to do a post on Environment Health HHSRS procedure in a few weeks when it’s completed. The idea is photos accompanied with what the guidance says, what I say and what Environmental Health say.

I took many ceiling tiles off my dodgy bedroom ceiling to see for myself but also for EH to see how bad it was. The rest of the ceiling was not as bad as the original crack but obviously in danger of collapsing. There are cracks all over the ceiling with water staining showing that the roof is fekked. I expect EH to order replacement of the ceiling without any action to the roof. The EH officer asked if water was dripping on me.

My landlord has been entering my flat without my knowledge. He picked the lock after I changed it so that he didn’t have a key. [ed: a bypass rather than picking really] Standard euro cylinders can be opened in under 5 seconds. I’ve got one FO lock there now.
