She further complained that works had been delayed and caused further damage to her property.
The Ombudsman concluded that there had been a significant delay in resolving Miss L’s concerns, and that it had failed to complete promised works within a timely manner. She also concluded that there were outstanding concerns to be investigated and said this caused frustration to Miss L.
