An angry homeowner alleges that low-flying planes are damaging his £3 million Georgian mansion.
Daljit Bhail has accused Heathrow airport of "abandoning" the home - which is underneath the major flight path.
According to the 54-year-old, large wind gusts from the aircraft have caused tiles on his roof to be shifted.
He also claims that blue ice - frozen sewage - has leaked from plane toilets and smashed a glass lantern outside the property.
Bhail - who has lived next to the south runway of terminal five for almost 25 years - said low flying planes over the past three years have caused "vortex damage".
He added that he and his guests at the home - which is rented out on Airbnb - are being woken at 3am by aircrafts.
However, Heathrow has denied the claims and say it has "well-established programmes to protect local buildings from the impacts of airport operation".
It is believed the airport paid for a contractor to visit to do repair work for the vortex damage - large gusts of wind from planes which smash into buildings - but they were unable to continue following a disagreement with Bhail.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"It's a stand off - they sent an assessor out who confirmed the house had been hit by a vortex strike, and said they would nail down the tiles but then they said they couldn't as it's a listed building," he said.
Bhail claim Heathrow agreed to have someone come out to secure the roof in April, but he alleges the workman did a "shoddy job".
He added that there has been scaffolding left for five months - and Heathrow have not sent anyone to finish the work.
"It's not just the damage - it's really loud and they shouldn't be flying that low," the homeowner added.

"It's extremely dangerous!"
A Heathrow spokesman said: "We have well-established programmes to protect local buildings from the impacts of airport operations, including preventative works and noise insulation.
"In the rare cases where a property is damaged, we work with specialist contractors who will assess the most suitable repair, at no cost to the resident."
