When similar things have happened me the building’s insurers were quite generous but the contractors they got in to fix things were somewhat incompetent.

Yeah I wasn't a fan (again with that word) of the last bit of work they did so I might try looking for my own builder, painter, etc.
My desk is currently outside and the carpet is pulled up in one corner. It makes quite the difference to your living when you only have one room and the flat was already full to the brim with junk.
I'm thinking about ditching the desk. Maybe I can freeycycle it damaged and then get them to pay for its replacement. It's only £115 Ikea thing.

Having someone not employed by you to work on your property is not a recipe for success.

I haven't contacted my insurers. I've only contacted the flat management fuckers.
It's not the neighbour, it's shared infra so the management fuckers are paying.
What I'm talking about is how much of this fuckup can I expect to be paid for? ie. my desk is now outside drying out. The bookcase has gone black from damp. The bath has been ripped apart to find the leak, etc. None of this shit would've happened if UK idiots ran drain pipes outside like a sensible country, but since they ran them inside I feel they should pay for everything, including new carpet and whatever it takes to sort that. But I reckon they, like most liable cunts, will try and get out of as much as possible so I want to know what they're definitely liable for.
