IT'S bad enough having to put up with United Utilities letting their smells out now and again in Davyhulme, and I live on Broadway just behind their sewage plant.

But when you have to put up with sewage smells that are coming up in your kitchen cupboard from the drains that run down inside my kitchen food cupboard and Trafford housing have done nothing about it for a long time after me telling them it stinks for a long time and now the smell is so bad I constantly feel sick waking up to disgusting smells in my bedroom as well as having to cook my food in what I call a sewer, it's just not on.

I phoned Trafford housing and they said they would send there inspector round in three weeks to check it out and when i asked if he could come sooner like today they said his diary is full,

I have had to live with this for a very long time and until not long ago thought it was always United Utilities sending their smells out but i discovered one morning waking up to a bad smell it was much worse in my bathroom so I took out the wood casing covering the soil pipe from the toilet to discover that the joints in the pipes had not been packed which let smells out, soI filled each joint with silicone sealer which made the bathroom smell better but its also coming from the kitchen where the pipes are also cased in but that's in a my food cupboard.
