If you’re living in a rented property with heating or plumbing issues that your landlord has failed to address, you may be entitled to compensation. At Pembridge Solicitors, we assist tenants across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire who are struggling with inadequate heating or plumbing, helping them take legal action when their landlord has neglected their responsibilities.
Heating and plumbing problems can make living conditions uncomfortable and even unsafe. If your landlord is failing to maintain these essential systems, our team is here to help you get the support you deserve.
What Are Heating & Plumbing Failures?
Heating and plumbing failures can take many forms, such as:
- Broken or faulty heating systems (e.g., central heating, boilers, radiators)
- Lack of hot water
- Leaking pipes or fixtures
- Blocked drains or toilets
- Poor water pressure
- Cold or damp conditions due to heating issues
- No access to proper bathroom or kitchen facilities due to plumbing problems
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that heating and plumbing systems are in good working order and comply with health and safety standards. If your landlord has not carried out necessary repairs or maintenance, you may have a claim for compensation.
What You Can Claim For
If you’re living with heating or plumbing failures that have not been addressed, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Inconvenience, discomfort, and loss of amenity
- Damage to your belongings caused by leaks, flooding, or water damage
- Costs for temporary accommodation if the property becomes uninhabitable
- Rent reductions or refunds
- Costs of repairs or replacements for your personal belongings damaged by plumbing or heating issues
