(a) the builder
(b) the kitchen fitter
(c) the plumber

As none of them have done it and all our stuff's coming on Monday!

Kitchen fitter has sorted out water pipes to the machine but says it's not his job to put hole through wall for waste pipe.

Plumber's away until tomorrow - no idea if he'll do it.

Builder has done mainly outside stuff and has finished.

Who should I be hassling??

The builder to drill the hole and the plumber to fit the pipe.

Although most plumbers will probably have a drill too.

OK - I have a fair chance with the plumber as he's fab and has to come tomorrow to put the radiators on and connect the gas up.

Am about ready to cry though - so stressed and have come to the conclusion that all builders are complete divas who slag each other off and always think their way is best - it's worse than office politics..!

Kind of strange that the kitchen fitters brought the piping round but then wouldn't fit a waste . Generally, I'd expect plumber to do it though.

we had a similar issue at my work kitchen just a few weeks ago...

with regard to plumbing in taps AND dishwasher AND fridge

builders says it wasnt up to them, and kitchen fitter said it wasnt his job either.... in the end the plumbers did it all

we had had NO kitchen at all for 5 months, than a beutiful kitchen with no running water that we still couldnt used for another 4 days, and after 5 months those 4 days were like being totured!
