hi this is about my house, we had a plumber call out yesterday to fit a new pump to our boiler, this superb guy has then managed to flood the whole house ceilings in hallway and kitchen soaked wood floor ruined etc ( great guy didnt bother to turn water off ), we have had his boss here today who now informs me that the ceilings will be fine, his words "they will dry out" now trying not to get to irate with the guy i pointed out that the ceiling boards where still pee wet through and staining was still getting bigger, and in my opinion the whole ceilings would require replacing and skimming,(ceilings have bowed etc) he still informed me that the boards would dry out and everything would be fine, I then informed him that I was a plasterer and that i Knew the ceilings would need replacing, but he wont let me bill him for repairs etc as he has his own guy, who has called this afternoon, who again is saying that his boss is correct and they dont need anything doing, it was at this point that I started to get annoyed and proceeded to show him how bad the boards were by pushing my hand through one to let the guy see how bad it was, he then said well you done that yourself so you will have to fix it, am I going mad or is there something I am missing here, trading standards may have to have a call , any advice from anyone, never before have I come across anyone as useless as these guys
