They then offered someone on Monday but at a time corresponding with a lecture to 300 students - I just can't afford to cancel a lecture given how constrained our timetable is.
So i was on my own. I called a plumber who quoted me £580 for the job. I put down the phone and contact a friend - one of our piped services guys in UCL Estates - and sent him a photo of the situation.
He told me the price was outrageous and that it was a 5 minute job. If I wanted he could come round. 2/n
