Strange smell in bathroom

Posted by Maggie R, on
My neighbour (in flat below) undertook work to her ceiling, replacing it - it is ceiling below my bathroom. Later that day there was strange slight smell that has got steadily worse over next 2 or 3 month. It's not full on toilet smell and so I'm not thinking leak... But strange - almost sweet, but not pleasant sweet smell. Any ideas what could be cause? - product used? And if product used Will smell go eventually ?

Hi Maggie if you aren't thinking leak then there's only one strange sweet smell I can think of! Perhaps your neighbour has got green fingers and is growing something they can smoke once cultivated! It's more common than you think! Ed
