Hi
I'm removing a chimney from a party wall. A surveyor has drawn up plans etc and this will also be signed off by the council.
The guy doing the job for me is a relative and a retired builder so has done plenty of this type of work.
My neighbour is concerned about liability insurance, ie if the chimney fell down due to our work, which isn't going to happen but is a fair point.
The builder doesn't have this so where do I stand? I can't see my building insurance covering this.
Where do I stand? Can I put insurance in place of some sort?
Thanks
