    Broken stopcock, pipes buried in kitchen

    I would think avoiding damaged lungs a good "excuse" in my book. Good on him if he's spotted asbestos and wants it dealing with correctly. Too many dangerous contractors would have just put a hammer through it and risk there customers health for a few notes.

    As far as I know only WB state you can get away with the rubber only and seal from inside. A 5kg bag of sand and cement is £3 a cup of water and 5mins work, whats the problem unless your a lazy bar stool.

    Gap around boiler flue

    WB may allow the rubber to be the seal but they also ask for the gap to be filled from the inside which suggest they only expect this to be done on flats above 3 story (for access reasons) imo.
