    I would think the delay in reporting this has undoubtedly contributed to the extent of the damage and, as such, the resident below should share some of the cost.

    But by how much and how you determine this is a whole other question.  In an ideal world, you might say to your neighbours that you split the bill 50-50, and they can claim their half from their home and contents insurers.

    And maybe you can claim against the plumber or builder who did the shoddy work.  Whatever, the outcome, try to keep the communications amicable and productive.  Sitting down over a coffee might be a first step.
