Q&As
Money down the drain
The local council wants to test the drains in our new house but the drainage contractor says that he wants paying for this. Is it our responsibility and what are the costs involved?
Answers
It depends on what was agreed before the work started. If the question of testing wasn’t discussed before the work started it may be it quicker just to pay up. It should cost about £2 per linear metre for 100mm pipes and £2.50 for 150mm pipes.
