Plumber Being Unreasonable

[LPC]

You got a plumber out at midnight because of a bathroom smell?

Try and keep it professional guys. Whatever hulahoop's reasons for calling the service were she is now asking for our professional help and advice.

Whether we agree whether it merits an out of hours call is neither here nor there but reading this and the previous thread I think the poor girl is at her wits end.

Thank you.

It needs seperating into two issues. The smell and the consumer issue. The consumer issue is not for this forum. The smell issue, well there are plenty of things suggested, but as a tenant you shouldnt be having this chew.

Perhaps so,

But keeping it profesional works both ways.....no ???
the posters threat of adding private communications to the thread will serve no end also and coupled with the posters view and opinion of being ripped off and misled, and the alleged pending threat of court action by a party may also be libelous.
(If allowing the forum could be held accountable) if the business was proved right and had wind of these potentially defamatory comments ?

I just mention this because that very thing happened with operation yewtree on the UKs most popular ducati forum when I was into them about 18 month ago.
Some pending action at court with some celebrity and some legal defence team stumbled across defamatory banter comments and they were served with a cease and desist notice or the threat of action against forum admin and poster.

Seems to be the way these days with twitter and evertthing else filtering through

You'd have to block the overflows as well

Damp flanel hanging over overflow , did stop drafts as a kid

Lol! True, but then it is no longer an overflow, as it is now blocked! Then they risk flooding the place, but no smell. :smile:

Personally I think the housing association has treated you badly? As a landlord, they should listen to your concerns and address them or try to address them. For some flats, a Ventilated Stack would have prevented such a ''problem''

Fair point well made Phil
