I was given the RAH Consultancy contact details by the Bathroom Manufactures Association as I was experiencing a problem with a cracked bath that was only 18 months old. The suppliers would not admit liability for the fault, even after appeal, and trading standards no longer deals with the public. After outlining the facts via email to RAH, Mr. Richard Hurst phoned me the next day and spent some time advising me of the best way to remove the impasse with the supplier. He told me that if I wanted him to intervene directly in the matter he would do so, and outlined his fees. Fortunately for me his initial free telephone advice worked and an offer of replacement was forthcoming from the suppliers. Most definitely without the advice given freely by Richard Hurst I would not have had a replacement from them. I cannot speak highly enough of RAH Consultancy and it is very reassuring in this day and age that there are people and companies out there that do offer genuine advice without an ulterior motive. So a very big thank you to RAH Consultancy, and the Bathroom Manufacturers Association for putting me in touch with them.

“In 2015 we had a dispute with a Plumber who had fitted a bathroom very poorly. We asked RAH Consultancy to do a report on the bathroom and the fitting. Mr Hurst produced a comprehensive report for us. We used this report in a subsequent small claims court case with the Plumber. The Court instructed the Plumber to refund us the full cost of the work, plus interest, plus court fees. Naturally we were delighted with this outcome, which was undoubtedly helped by having Mr Hurst’s report.

We have recommended RAH Consultancy to a friend in similar circumstances. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else who need this type of service.”

I would like to provide the following reference to Richard Hurst who was appointed as joint Expert Witness. He had to research numerous bundles of evidence developing a picture of what had gone on at the site some 2 years beforehand.I would have no hesitation in supporting any future choice readers may be faced with.

“We have now issued the final Operating and Maintenance Manual for the Water Softeners in our Park House Project. This now completes the long process of design, approval and installation of units which complied with the requirements of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme. (WRAS)

The background to this achievement is that the building, comprising Commercial and Residential units, was specified to incorporate WRAS approved Water Softeners in accordance with Thames Water requirements. At the time of construction, no WRAS approved item was on the market resulting in the installation of non-compliant units. RAH Consultancy were engaged to review the design of the installed units and advise a way forward. RAH based their review upon the requirement for a Water Regulations Compliant Water Softening device. Their works included;

-   Sourcing of such a device (none currently available)

-   Liaising with the manufacturer/installer

-   Production of layout drawings

-   Coordinate the Technical Submittals

-   To liaise with Thames Water Regulators

-   To organise the factory testing of the proposed units

-   To undertake site inspections of the system at regular intervals up to the acceptance and signing off of the installations by Thames Water Regulators

-   General advice in dealing with Thames Water Utilities Water Regulations Department.

The units are now successfully installed and, following an inspection by Thames Water Inspector, we have been issued with a letter granting consent and a Certificate Of Compliance.

Effectively, we have installed the first WRAS approved Water Softeners in London. Well done and thank you, Richard.”

RAH Consultancy come highly recommended. The provision of an expert report assisted greatly in our pursuit of a personal injury claim for a client who had suffered scalding injuries from a shower, ultimately assisting in leading to a successful conclusion of the case. The report addressed the key points required in detail whilst the conclusions were concise and helpful.Richard was professional and helpful throughout, providing clear and informative responses in a prompt manner. I would have no hesitation in instructing RAH Consultancy again in the future.

“We engaged RAH Consultancy to provide independent advice on some heating alterations work and found the expert witness service provided to be extremely good. RAH Consultancy as members of CIPHE brought the necessary technical authority, clarity and impartiality we needed to address the issue. Thanks once again.”

“Richard at RAH Consultancy was a great help in resolving a claim for one of my clients who was unfortunate enough to contract legionella after showering at work following his shift at a local steel works. His analysis of the issues and documentation was impressive. As a result of his report and it’s findings we were able to resolve the claim for a substantial sum via negotiation pre-trial.

I would not hesitate to recommended RAH Consultancy to others.”

“We do appreciate the speed with which you have assisted me, Counsel and our clients.”
