Thanks for the replies. The drain was for the communal soil stack serving about 5-6 flats and it's connection to the mains drainage, so it was definitely communal. After the work was done, a director told my mum she could have claimed the money had she followed processes, specifically getting the work...

Firstly check the LEASE do the draisn serve your mother's property only or ALL the property? Who is responsible for the drains? When were they maintained or repaired last?
