Hi people

Does anybody know any companys that are dealing with the flood damage in Cockermouth and Cumbria?

Any help would be grateful
Thanks

I should imagine that the insurance companys would have there own people put things right on that scale;
but i dont know really!
not much help i know...

They will need some serious drying out as well

it will be a while yet before any work is carried out i reckon

I know that shares in Expamet building products (Hartlepool) always go up after floods, think of all the new plasterboard needed!

i can only imagine the time pressure on jobs like that i would just pick up the phone to some likely looking companies in the area, there will be loads on the net mate ive done this a few times when doing 'research' and you would be amazed how much you can find out

tiling works will be at least 12 months away.

I do a lot of work for an insurance refit company.Ive been told to get ready to travel there in feb/march thats when 1st ones will be ready(for this company anyway)

September floods in Morpeth were not dried out till February (5 months) then rebuilding (2months) tiling ready for May (total 8/9months).
Majority of work undertaken by White vans from all around the country through Insurance Co's. Very little was done by local firms.
On a job next door to a Victorian I was retiling a tiler arrived at 1pm to fix a tile and he had driven from Manchester!!!!
And you wonder why your insurance premiums are so high.

make sure you learn the lingo, "like", "marra" and "eh" are the basics
