Report it to your local environmental health dept.
Photograph the black damp patches and send pix to him. The sight of his property being ruined may make him do something.
Do you pay the rent direct to the Landlord ? ... If so, phone him again and suggest that as he is to busy to deal with the problem, that you are going to get a few quotes from local tradesmen to sort it out .... and you will just deduct the tradesman's bill from the rent.
He will appear a lot quicker if his rent is threatened.
wow I have this issue right now, I'm not holding my breath for our landlord to do anything, My advice would be to take photo's of the damp and the guttering and keep copies of your correspondences. Maybe the CAB can tell you what your next move would be, there is always a risk of being given your notice for complaining so tread carefully..
