I read this string with the usual make a point, defend a point tennis game that litters this messageboard. There are some excellent points made but the response is alweays: can you do better? we did our best? And the see you at the AGM threat. Planet plumbing turned up in our flat went straigt to bathroom, said this panel will have to come off (not my job) iam off - no lets look at the kitchen the shower, the tank just take the panel off, cut the groat sealant and we look under the bath. Best £50 work for 5 mins work. A long tim ago in response for ideas on building work it was suggested that we exercised tighter control on works within the estate. Scheduling, notification to office etc. Given that all electrical kitchen work requires certification on sale why don't we ask for an estate certification on all plumbing work that involves modification. After all most faults are a result of change and given the number of kitchen and bathroom changes that we see on a monthly basis this would be a proactive way of introducing control and would also make people tyhink twice about using uncertified plummers or sparkies. If we made this a way of life we would definately know what was being changed and that it was done correctly. Who could object to that. Can we stop the tennis and act responsibly. Thistakes director leadership and action please
