Tried unblocking chemicals, plunger, twisty 3m wire thing, even got something from amazon that you pump up and it blasts air down. Still partially blocked. Anything else I can try or time to get a plumber to do it?

Bought chain but its 2m. Easiest way to shorten?

Well insurance paid out on this. They did try to recover from the builder but he denied it and it looks like they can't be bothered. So its cost me £750 excess plus, of course, my insurance has gone up. Worth pursuing the guy through small claims? Apparently he doesn't have any insurance.

Are the spray stain things any good? Do you still need to paint over after use?

Could have been worse to be honest..... No bulging but of course a stain on the ceiling now. Will I get away with just painting over the small area or, generally, does the whole lot need to be repainted?

Nothing changed recently..... I thought I'd fixed it yesterday but its still flickering/off-on. Got a light fitting in the bathroom - the wires looked a bit burnt. I took it all apart and re-did the wiring and it seemed ok but nope back again. I'm wondering if its the actual light fitting now...

So Im guessing its a problem with the wiring somewhere half way around the loop circuit. One light came back on for a few secs so its wiring loose. Trouble is say 7 lights upstairs, 4 not working. So I guess any after light 4 on the loop is not working. Out of those 4 which one to start at...

Couple of questions:- 1. Additional toilet. Obviously the main one feeds into an existing soil pipe. Is it easy (or even possible) to put a toilet in say bedroom3? I see there is a drain access outside the window down the side of the house. 2. Building another bedroom upstairs. I guess would...

Plans? Where do you get these from? All I have is the picture supplied. Yes those stairs are actually 90 degrees to what is shown. And very steep.

Not cheap are they?

Alas my building skills are ZERO..... And I prob ain't got time to project manage anything....

Thanks thats so kind of you.....

Used to 3 toilets in current house..... Two showers. With 2 kids (one in college most of the time) its going to be tough with one bathroom!

Above is the current... As you can see its a dormer bungalow (With the stairs up to the one bedroom as you can see). Plenty of land all around the house..... Initially, I think. 1. Another bathroom 2. Another bedroom

Got no idea whats even possible? Where do I start? Who do I ask what can be done even? In terms of cost/time etc how much, for instance, for single storey extension?

Insurance company are covering me - but they are now after the builder to recover their losses. Got 2 plumbers reports confirming it was his fault so hes prob in trouble.

Insurance company have made no mention that they won't cover yet and they know the details. All they've said is if they recover from the builder the excess will be refunded and the claim will be stuck off.

Hows he going to put it right? Buy me new floor, carpets, furniture? I don't think its unreasonable for me to refuse to let him touch anything in my house again after the incompetence hes shown with plumbing? Not having a go but would you honestly let this guy back in YOUR house to "have a go"...

Well I think the builders about to have a bad day soon...... My insurance have spoken to the emergency plumber and asked them to do a report on what has caused this. They've responded with details of what he did wrong, used no washers, overtightened to compensate which caused it to break and...
