I have a team of builders currently on site demolishing a chimney and
doing some fairly major bathroom alterations. This is all formally
priced up and contracted through the parent firm.

Whist they are here I have thought it would be really handy if they
could use the tools they already have been using for the main job in the
bathroom alterations (ie a big core drill) to drill me a suitable hole
for a tumble dryer exhaust.

This is undoubtedly "out of scope" so I was hoping to offer one of them
a few drinking vouchers to do a bit of overtime for me.

If I have to DIY I will have to buy or hire kit or "chain drill" the hole.

Can anybody suggest a sum that would be reasonable for this job as a
"little extra" for someone who is already on site with all of the right
kit? It is on the first floor so if it cant all be done from inside
work will have to be done from a ladder.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

What size of hole?


110 shurely?


In which case this would do the job. I know the arbour is extra but I
would be temped.

It does help having an SDS drill of course.


Think I'd rather pay the cash that tit about up a ladder with
one... even with a clutch!


Personally I would ditch the tumble drier for a condensing one. Free
heat and no messy hoses.


Worth doing the sums...


Not just the sums, but the convenience. They can be sited on landings
and in bedrooms if kitchen space is an issue.



Next to the washing machine would be my choice :-)
