![]() ![]() ![]() Got up last week to find water coming out of the ceiling, got plumber out and it is the water tank.....to cut a long story short, turns out water tank is kn***ed but to get to it they had to take out the partitioning wall (that had my shower on it) out and the bath - then the tiles - to then find the plaster was like powder so that needed doing as well. So we needed to get our hands on some cash a.s.a.p. so Dave's bike was sold to Slinger's motorcycles ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All in all this cowboy wanted £3,700 for the job and now we are getting it done for £2,000. So after sacking him I was left with my home in bits and no plumber, yes....I had a good cry about it all but we are now sorted and the new plumber is coming with his guy's on Friday. ![]() But if thing's were not bad enough, Dave has put my SV onto his insurance so that he will keep his no claims and the insurer that he is with will not insure it as a two rider policy so I can't ride my bike ![]() ![]() ![]() ITS NOT FAIR......LIFE SUCKS Jo. |

comiserations on the loss of the bike and the plumbing mess...
im sure u have gone down this route however house insurance usually covers you for ascociated works for rectifying an issue that arose from a fault? My apologies if u have already explored this route... hope things get better soon... Alex |

If only Alex, the house insurance have said that they will pay for the damage done to the ceiling but that is it as it is wear and tear on the tank (ok, I accept that) but they said that they will not pay for any repairs that have to be taken to get the tank out......so in the end I think that we will end up about £4,000 out of pocket.
So, my piggin' question is.....what am I paying my piggin' insurance for then ![]() Jo |

Terrible news, especially having to sell a machine.
One of the joys of home owning, its not all buy one and sell it for a massive profit!! I bought a house 2 years ago and am dreading a situation like this. |
