A theoretical question.
If we find, while fitting a bathroom for example, that the owner has hacked a 'notch' in his joist that's 50% of the depth of the joist (and as wide as it is deep), therefore breaking building regs and, possibly, being structurally dangerous, is there a legal requirement for other tradesmen to report such problems?
In other words, are we potentially open to prosecution if we turn a blind eye to work that we haven't done and that has nothing to do with plumbing?
