What we all working on this week ?

Thought it might be salvageable, but damage too severe. Insurance job so new boiler. Fire investigator was there when I called in. No accelerants, didn't start from boiler or oil line, possibly a lithium battery in wheelie bin but cause is officially unexplained. Luckily the boiler stopped the propane tanks exploding.

Hot and cold to be picked up from by the boiler and ran through pitched single storey roof space, tee off into ensuite and then into bathroom.

I've just sent him my price. £2575. Hopefully I won't hear back. Too much work out there to be grafting for nothing.
