I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Oh dear that looks nasty mate hope you get em sorted out. 😉👍

Thought it might be salvageable, but damage too severe. Insurance job so new boiler. Fire investigator was there when I called in. No accelerants, didn't start from boiler or oil line, possibly a lithium battery in wheelie bin but cause is officially unexplained. Luckily the boiler stopped the propane tanks exploding.

Well there's an hour I won't get back.
Asked to have a look at first fixing for a bathroom and en-suite.
No hot, cold, waste or soil pipework upstairs.
Saniflo for ensuite.
Hot and cold to be picked up from by the boiler and ran through pitched single storey roof space, tee off into ensuite and then into bathroom.
En-suite has thermo shower, basin and wc.
Bathroom has bath, electric shower over, basin and wc.
New 4" soil from wc in bathroom drop into roof space, drop through ceiling, run just below ceiling, core through external wall, tee, new stack only 1 story and connect into existing stack 2m away.
Plus waste pipes for above and connection and pipe for saniflow.

Including materials?

Supposedly.

 

[SimonG]

I've just sent him my price. £2575. Hopefully I won't hear back. Too much work out there to be grafting for nothing.

Best of luck mate hope it goes your way 👍

 

[SimonG]

Cheers.

List 2 cases for 10.00 and mines the second, typical. Turned up in my work gear as well to hopefully move things along 😀
Their rep requested a private meeting with mine to discuss settlement. I said nope.
I've paid for the hearing, there offering less than 50%.

 

[SimonG]

Well it was a win, not the full win but enough to be happy about it. Found in my favour. At one point though I thought I was getting the death penalty, the barrister was a right obstreperous thomas watt.
