Just about to have a run-in with the builders, just after a few facts/opinions.
New extension, blah, blha, blah. They’ve had to run a new waste pipe along the steel lintel and it was boxed in and plastered over.
Said waste is now leaking, they’ve cut out a bit of plaster and applied what looks like some kind of epoxy around the leaking junction which has solved it.
The question is how long does that expoxy last? I can imagine with a bit of flex on the pipe it could easily leak again and the new kitchen is going in around that area and I’m not going to be too happy refitting the kitchen in a couple of years.
Admittedly it’s a moot point as the foreman admitted the plumber did it in a rush and didn’t even bother chucking a bucket of water down to see if it was watertight, and I’m about to tell them to pull everything down and do it properly this time.
Temporary bodge? Or can anyone reassure me its a permenant solution that’ll outlive me.
