It's warmed up in Liverpool, so the ice plug in the burst pipe on my balcony gave way. Instant fountain for me, ruined ceiling for the flat below (hopefully not..)
I've cut a 700 x 23 inner tube, ran it down the main drain and then fixed it over the burst pipe with an arno strap. It's useful being a cyclist and having bodging bits to hand
Hopefully this will hold until a plumber can get here tomorrow. There are at least 6 leaks in the complex, I can see one flat with water cascading down it's windows from the flat above
