I have both buildings and content policies, currently running and have been with the same firm in excess of 20yrs and never claimed before.... about March I noticed after getting out of the bath, water had obviously leaked from the bath so I thought! I put holes in the ceiling to let out the water and mopped it up.....

But to day I noticed water coming from the same spot in the kitchen which is below the bathroom come w-c, and rushed upstairs and took up a few of the carpet tiles and noticed it was soaking, and the floor boards had rotted away in parts, on further examination I found the radiator in the bathroom had rusted away on the side nearest the wall obviously causing this damage to the floor and the kitchen ceiling..

I went out and bought a radiator and drained the other one off with the view to fitting this new one, I took all the carpet tiles up and find that where the w-c is all the floor boards need to be renewed...
Can someone advice me on making a claim and the reason I posted this WILL I be allowed to claim as its going to cost more than a few shillings in my eyes....

All advise greatfully received thank you...........I have heard some strange goings on's with these insurance companies.......... :suspect:
