workmen broke the stack exit on the roof
So I'd have thought your insurance company would expect them to pay. Unlikely you'll get a whole new kitchen though. Anything that's damaged should be repaired/replaced but the first thing you want to do is stop the leak and let everything dry out!

All I can say is, sometimes you have to be very pushy, and possibly get additional estimates to quote what is required to put it right.
Were the workmen working for you, or another neighbour, or landlord?

Rainwater damage in our kitchen - what should I request the insurance company to do to put it right? It's come down along the soil stack - workmen broke the stack exit on the roof - and has pooled about an inchworths on the kitchen floor. It's not very nice stuff - dirty and full of bugs.
Ideally they'd discombobulate the entire kitchen, sanitise everything, then put it all back together, because we don't know where this stuff has got to. Anyone have any advice on what to demand?
