    After some good natured discussion he has agreed to investigate his Insurance channels first and our Insurance company is geared up for a scrap if necessary.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It was a joke - trying to maintain my sense of humour, and I was expecting some innuendo. Hang I think I just got that done to me....

    I can't see why this wouldn't be on him. The glass was broken while it was in his care. No different from a motorcycle shop spreading one's ride all over the road whilst out test riding said during a service. This "joiner" doesn't have a surname like Dilligaf, does he?

    Crap luck, BTW.

    Surely the "tradesman's" public liability insurance should cover this.....
    Damn, Jim, you musta been a real bad fella in a past life...your bad luck must come to an end soon

    No, not those ugly things, these ones are clear glass. There's a Professor of Glass Blowing (I shit you not) at Victoria University who is going to make us a couple. Apparently.

    hey man, glass blowing is an art. I've been to venice and seen them in action. pretty impressive.

    i just can't for the life of me picture what the hell these things look like. they must be flat'ish??

    his insurance will almost certainly cover it unless part of the contract was for the demolish and removal of them, which he'd fucken charge you for anyway.

    They're about 10" square and they are domed. Quite difficult to describe really.

    They look a bit like those perspex skylight bubbles. But square. And made of glass. Coloured glass.

    Let your insurer fight his insurer. As long as you are not expected to pay for the damage yourself.
    Just to be a joygerm, I don't think Public Liability covers the article being worked on, only damage to anything else....ie. if I am putting a stripe on (say) someone's front mudguard & I damage that guard in any way, then no cover. But if I turn around with the knife in my hand and cut the paint on the adjacent door, or stand up & break the wing mirror with my shoulder, then I'm covered.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    As others have said regarding the Joiners insurance company.

    As a side note, old glass is an absolute bastard to work with and the risk is always present no matter how carefully you handle it.
    Getting a glazier to cut old glass is even more difficult!

    Hope it all works out Jim.

    There was no cutting of glass involved. Merely removing it from the old door frame.
