I recently had a problem caused by this cold weather when one of the outside branch water pipes was blocked with ice therefore stopping me using the kitchen sink and washing machine.
The work was carried out by a plumber who I called out being that it was needed to be sorted quickly especially with Xmas coming up.
My question really is am I within my rights to bill each tenant for their share of the cost baring in mind I didn't do it through the council.
The plumber did say however to me that as long as it is outside then sharing the cost is ok.
I remember being billed for something at the other side of the building that doesn't have anything to do with my property, and the person who organised that billed us all, so I thought that what's good for the goose so to speak.
Please remember this is in Scotland as some rules can be slightly different between England and Scotland.
