dia what about a couple of these to get over the roof

 

[mahutchinson]

Well I've spoken to three people so far and have not managed to get anyone to show any interest in undertaking the work. I'm currently doing some courses at the Builder Training Center in Waddon so maybe will ask someone there whether they know of anyone competent. Otherwise it's back to macerator land.

Maybe it would help if you would let us know whereabouts in the country you are??

 

[mahutchinson]

Sutton, SW London.

how much £ do you want to pay

 

[mahutchinson]

Well I understand that a large part of the cost will be in bringing in a tower through the back of the house and erecting it so it won't be cheap. Exactly what the cost should be I have no idea though. I would consider anything under £1k I suppose.

If the house was a Bungalow, I would rip your arm off but I really do not like heights, I usually send the Apprentice up to do this kind of thing.

I don't mind if he's an Afghan terrorist if he can do the job properly. The plumbers are put off by the tiling and I think the builders can't be bothered because they need to bring a tower through the garage round the back of the house to get to the job. I may speak to my original contact again who is doing a loft conversion across the road. If I can't get anywhere it's a new macerator unfortunately.

To be honest, the job doesn't phaze me, I do that sort of thing all the time on Bathroom fits.

I feel you have just been unlucky with your Plumbers.

Hi doitall,

Are you still working as a plumber?

A man of means don't work at anything

Can I borrow your Zimmer Kev next time you're over, they're bigger and better than ours.

 

[mahutchinson]

Just to cover off this topic I finally got the work done by a building contractor for £450 + £170 materials (including fitting a new toilet). They had to run the pipe over the roof mostly as apparently the steel joist holding the dormer room up was in the way underneath.

post a pic of the finished job then

 

[mahutchinson]

I wasn't going to post a pic as I thought you'd all pull the job to pieces but here goes.
