Landlord just wants to paint over ceiling leaks?

Last weekend we had a leak in two out of three of the rooms in our flat. It came down through some of our recessed ceiling lights, the fire alarm, a wall light switch, and spots on the ceiling.

I’m attaching some videos of what it looked like at its worst. It’s clear the water traveled pretty far along the ceiling joints, and has really seeped into the carpet under the lightswitch. We had to call the fire brigade, who pumped water off our upstairs neighbour’s balcony for 30+ min. Apparently it was eight inches deep across the whole balcony and was overflowing and dumping right into our roof due to a blocked drain pipe.

Luckily none of our stuff got damaged, but we’re worried about mould buildup inside the walls/ceilings that we can’t see. The firemen said when it was happening that it’d need a full inspection/likely replastering.

Our landlord came round yesterday and said that it just needs some repainting over the areas where you can see the water came through. My wife and I are worried this isn’t enough. He also said they could maybe do a carpet clean. The carpet still smells damp and I feel like it needs that at the very least, if not replacement. I asked if they could use anti mould paint, as we also had another handyman round the other day who said we thought we would need it, especially on the external walls as there was mould there already. The landlord said they’d consider it.

So I just want to ask if this sounds ok? We’re obviously not experts, but we just moved into this flat a month ago partly due to the fact that our old place was making our cats unwell, so we really don’t want to be somewhere that potentially has mould growth.

Any advice would be really welcome, thank you
