Living under Circle 33 roof. Rain water leak problem. A picture is worth a thousand words. These clips are dedicated to my landlord Circle 33 Housing Association. I was given this Flat to live in back in 2003. It looked nice, clean and recently decorated. I was a bit surprise to find it in that condition. Now I know why! The previous tenant had problem (God knows for how many years) with rain water leaking through the ceiling and the windows frame to almost the entire flat(Living room, Bedroom and the kitchen). The tenant was moved to another property permanently because the problem persisted and I guess the tenant had enough and was fighting to be moved. They come and decorated the flat (Only the affected areas of course: Bedroom, Living Room and the kitchen) to conceal any signs of leaking, damage or damp. Who's the next victim? Unfortunately, it was me. A poor disabled guy who has already enough problems of his own. Anyway, I'll keep it short, after about 4 years living in that situation, complaints, 3 fail attempts of repair, 2 times redecorated , sleepless nights, psychological and nervous break down ....etc...... Result............ No result....... The problem is still there and it's going bigger and worse, I was moved temporarily to another property. Was told I can come back when the job is done! . What triggers my anger and rage is the Maintenance Officer emailing me and saying after inspecting the flat "I could perceive no damp/water ingress anywhere other than some slight water stains on the ceiling which would be caused by the tenants above" and asking me to advice him of the problems I was experiencing . Tenants above! Slight ... !advice him! Where all the history gone? No records, traces or reports of my problems, of the contractors, the property manager ,the surveyors ...etc A picture is worth a thousand words. The clip does not reflect the exact picture or the worst day, the real situation is far worse. Where was he when I had to switch off the power and stay in the dark, and the light bulbs in the ceiling were not anymore light bulbs but open taps. Useless incompetent lousy hopeless cheap inferior and corrupt company Someone take over or yourself stand up and say it's over If you want to look 10 years older then be Circle 33 tenant. It is a circle. Oh by the way and not surprisingly, my new place has damp problem as well witch i reported it but do they care or do something about it!!!! I've been chasing circle33 for 2 months now to send someone to fix my Tv aerial. More than 4 hours on the phone and a personal confrontation with their repair manager.Still nothing, still waiting..........

Jun 21, 2008 - i can say that property is Circle 33's best house. You have to see other houses. They know how to get their rents but they have no idea about how to undertake their repairings.

May 20, 2008 - it takes years to repair carpets in circle 33. We had old boiler in my bedroom, which was making lots of noise at the nights and i was unable to sleep because of the noise. Manager of the circle 33 was telling me to buy sleeping tablets. They can't pay lots of money to repair the boiler. >THEY GET £HUNDERDS FROM COULCILS> I THINK COULCILS ARE MAKING MISTAKES AS WELL> THEY DON'T INSPECT THESE COMPANIES. I THINK BEING CUSTOMER OF CIRCLE 33 WAS THE BIGGEST misfortune in my life.
