Suspicious damp patch and the boiler keeps dropping pressure. Got Homeserve engineer coming out on Thurs but want to be prepared to cut a hole in the roof myself if he isn’t willing.
Any tips for doing it as neatly/safely as possible? Will try to fix it myself after so want to do it as neatly as possible.
Try and find the nearest joists and cut through the plasterboard down the middle of the joists. Keep the piece you cut out and put it back in if it's not too wet/damaged.
What’s upstairs? You’ll repair a patch in the ceiling Ok but it’ll show to some degree, perhaps easier to lift the floor upstairs. Chances are that’s where the [failed] connection was made in the first place if the heating was retro-fit.
