Gill lives in a bungalow in Clayton, Greater Manchester. Her home should have been a quiet, safe space, but instead, she was dealing with ongoing disrepair issues that made daily life stressful and unpleasant.
What Went Wrong
Gill first noticed pigeons getting into her roof space. Some roof tiles were missing, allowing the birds to enter and cause several problems:
- Mess, noise, and bad smells
- Rainwater leaking through the gaps in the roof
- Water dripping near electrical fittings
Gill became worried for her safety and stopped using certain light switches because water was dripping close to them. No one should have to live in a home that feels unsafe.
What Needed Fixing
Gill’s home urgently required:
- Replacement of missing roof tiles to stop leaks
- Clearing and sealing of the roof space to prevent pigeons from returning
- An electrical safety inspection to make sure all fittings were secure and hazard-free
The Outcome of Her Housing Disrepair Claim
With support, Gill was able to take action. Her landlord carried out the necessary repairs, removing the pigeons, fixing the roof, and making her electrics safe. Gill also received compensation for the stress and inconvenience she endured while living with these problems.
