Hi All,
If we are going to use an engineer to prepare scope of work. May I
Suggest we use a hydraulic expert. As the last engineer we used gave us
incorrect advice.
These guys have had experience with both insurance and tribunal matters
and I think would be more suited to the problem in the basement.
Matt.
