  • Who is responsible for settlement cracks after recent work?

    We've had some work done on the house downstairs recently, essentially converted the whole thing to open plan. Looks great and I thought the builder was good and reputable. But now we've got some cracks upstairs and people are telling me it could be because the builder did a bad job? Can anyone who does this kind of thing for a living lay it out for me? Could this be a normal thing, or should I get in touch with insurance about something like this?

    removing tiles and adding shower

    We are hoping to change up the bathroom in our new house. It currently has a nice freestanding clawfoot bath, vanity with bowl style sink and a decent toilet that I want to keep. The bathroom is tiled (floor and all walls) and for some reason a previous owner has then added a cheap and horrible shower. We want to have a Lisna Water shower put in instead. I assume we need to remove the toilet/sink/vanity/bath safely before removing the tiles? We can remove the tiles ourselves, lay the floor and do the painting ourselves but will need to hire a plasterer and plumber. Can anyone give me an estimate for plastering (all 4 walls) and the plumbing labor? Extra info: The room is approx. 2.25 x 2.40 meters, we want to keep the locations of each item the same so hopefully no moving pipes etc..., ceiling does not need plastering and we are in the north east of England.
