The plasterboard behind the bath and loo is water-damaged and must be replaced. The waste pipe into the soil stack wasn't fitted properly when the house was built, and apparently it's a wonder the waste actually went into the soil stack and not down the outside - and the parts are now a different size so everything has to be replaced. And there's a leak in the pipes coming out of the boiler.
Good 'ere, innit!
You have my sympathy Alan. Been down that road twice. Nice when it's all done, but your glad to see the back of the trades and all the mess.
Thanks, Stephen. This is our second time - the first one I did myself and rather splendid it was too. But now I can't be faffed with DIY and fitting a walk-in shower is beyond my abilities.
They're doing a grand job with the plumbing, although the loo has to be flushed with a bucket at the moment. It's not worth re-connecting the cistern as the new toilet is going into the corner, hopefully by the weekend.
