    Combi-boilers in cupboards- fire rating

    I worked in new build and occasionally the client would commission a snagging report from one of those companies for their own peace of mind. Generally the snagging list they compile is nonsense..bulked up to justify their extravagant prices.

    Cost to repair cracked tiles?

    Get another couple of quotes. Some companies use scaffold for every job working at height..smaller 1 man bands not so much, a couple of tiles on a bungalow would not be anything near the £700 mark..couple of hundred where I am at most. Why do you need your underfelt checked?
