  • Hello - so, we had a leak from the neighbours above flat, eventually fixed, resulting in a hole in the kitchen ceiling. I've got a coupe of guys coming to quote on Friday but I'd really appreciate it if anyone with relevant experience could confirm/correct my vague understanding of things:

    Work required: cutting back any damp/compromised plaster board (and cutting to a more easily-replaced shape?), fixing new plasterboard in, skimming, painting?

    Likely cost: Small job but probably needs a minimum of two visits to allow for drying (I think we'll paint ourselves depending on quotes) - assuming ~£150-200 daily rate does this feel like 2 half-days or more than that?

    Cheers!

    You probably know this, but somebody's insurers should be dealing with this and paying for it.

  • After 6 months of wrangling, arguments and legal-ish letters we got them to pay the emergency plumbers fee! I don't have the time or energy to go back into battle for the 'make it right' costs, and our buildings insurance wouldn't be worth claiming against for such a small job...
