I've been given a cheaper plumbing quote if I chase the channels myself (saving of £350). I've never actually done this before, but am comfortable to do it.
How hard and how long will it be:
job
I have
° A 4" or 5" angle grinder with a dinmond disk
° A 2.7kg SDS (but no chisel yet)
° A mix of new manual masonry chisels
I kinda begrudge that we're paying +£1k to have part of a wall removed that I'm sure we could do. But in that case we are really paying for the "oh shit everyone was wrong and you do need a lintel to stop the 1st floor falling down", rather than the work.
What are the risks of me cutting into the floor? Going through the dpm? Or it taking too long?
Cheers.
