Leak again. Really really got me down last week and had me wanting to move house, which may sound dramatic, but waking up to water, having a leak on and off for a year, thinking about your cowboy builders fuck ups daily / worrying about what's beneath the surface and having a difficult neighbour really grinds you down.
Still don't know if coming from upstairs or outside, but tends to be correlated with bad weather, making me think outside.
Going to call the insurers tomorrow/Fri. If it is outside, that's going to a huge problem because will involve going on neighbours drive, which he hates, and we've had scaffolding up in recent years.
I actually had a handyman I used pop up when the neighbour was out are fill a few cracks in the render.
First step is confidently finding out where it came from.
I would 100% cut a section of plasterboard out of the ceiling close to the wall and above the window and see what's going on. It would likely be the first thing a builder would want to do to understand how/where the water is coming in from.
