Well, not Severn Trent, it was their subbie Laing O Rourke.
They came to upgrade the water pipes. Real clown act, waste diesel poured in the flower beds, no dust suppression on cutting tools in a public street, no PPE etc etcv etc.
Now, a neighbour went to work one day, nice three foot boundary wall. ST sent a guy to dig a hole right next to wall. They used the soil/dust extraction kit (the big hoover). He came home to find 20ft of wall on its arse.
Called ST, they contacted LOR, they contacted further subbies 'Mc Andrews. Resulting investigation came back with............
wait for it....
wait....
the wind blew it over
They'd accessed to weather forecast for that day and '...the wind was unseasonally high that day' Errrrr.. because it was winter?
His direct neighbour said the machine vibrated the ornaments on his fireplace as they extracted the soil.
Never seen so much crap work or lack of care ever, ST stood by said contractor and neighbour has to get wall rebuilt from his own funds.
'Considerate Contractors' ? Pah!
