Property damaged by neighbour - any advice?

Hi - I have an extraordinary neighbour. To cut a very long story short he's caused damage to the ceiling of my whole flat. He did not serve a party wall notice when he undertook his works and I alerted him to the problems immediately (there are nails coming from my ceiling in many areas). The freeholder has done absolutely nothing - and in addition to the aesthetic damage his floor now makes a vary strange noise in my flat, whenever anyone in his flat walks around. The whole thing needs fixing and painting again - I don't see why I should pay for this as he caused the damage but can't see a way of getting him to do it - any ideas? Or do you have experience of this? (the nuisance issue is a separate issue - although it would be fantastic if both could be fixed at once). Historically he's been extremely unreasonable and difficult to deal with which is not a good start...
