Curtain Poles & AccessoriesA sub-contractor accidentally caused the damage but we’re still out of pocket I’m caught in the middle of a fight involving B&Q and its sub-contractor’s insurance company. We paid £13,381 for a fully fitted kitchen from B&Q. Ten days into the installation the subcontractor accidentally caused a flood, damaging carpets, furniture and possessions. B&Q managers advised that we make a claim. We therefore sent an email with supporting documents requesting £2,592.41. More than three months later we’re still waiting. B&Q insists that the subcontractor’s insurer should pay. The insurer says that B&Q should give us the money then reclaim it from them. Now both advise us that the quickest option is to claim on our home insurance, but then we would lose our 10 years’ no claims.

While the fitter’s insurance company and B&Q’s point the finger at each other, we’re the ones out of pocket and having to do the chasing. A sorry tale of corporate indifference. In this case B&Q, with whom you had the contract, should have settled the debt then claimed against its subcontractor’s insurer. But when in doubt, pass the buck. After The Observer wades in, B&Q decides to pay out – and it’s pretty pleased with its magnanimity. “We have supported them in their claim and have been encouraging a swift resolution,” a spokesperson says. “We are settling their claim ourselves, and will pursue recovery against the installer’s insurers.” If you need help email Anna Tims at your.problems@observer.co.uk or write to Your Problems, The Observer, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU.

I need a spiderman one for sure!DIY giants Wickes and B&Q boast of their environmental credentials and commitment to using products from ‘responsible sources’.But both have been selling wood feared to have been illegally harvested from endangered rainforests harbouring the world’s dwindling orang-utan population, the Daily Mail can reveal.Even though an official investigation found that a rogue firm had produced huge quantities of plywood in breach of rules – probably using trees from the  forests of Borneo – it has remained on sale in B&Q and Wickes stores across Britain.grommet microsuede curtains Stocked up: Strips of wood for sale at one of B&Q¿s superstores The Malaysian wholesaler involved, Asia Plywood, was stripped of its right to ‘green credentials’ last month, and the investigating body advised that none of its products made from late February last year onwards should be put on sale.

However, when the Daily Mail contacted ‘forest-friendly’ B&Q on Friday, the chain suddenly began stripping the wood from its shelves. Wickes – which assures customers ‘our timber has come from a responsible source’ – continues to sell the product, insisting it is better to give it to consumers than put it in a landfill site.The company pointed out that the Forest Stewardship Council, the timber industry-funded body that promotes ‘responsible management’ of forests, had authorised the continuing sale of Asia Plywood products supplied to UK retailers up until the day it stripped the company of certification. Endangered: A baby orang-utan clinging to its mother last week in an area where timber is being illegally lumbered Last night the FSC was unable to explain why it gave this guidance when its investigation agency, Scientific Certification Systems, said no plywood produced since February last year should have  been certified.The embarrassing debacle calls into question how committed the industry and major UK retailers are to defending the rainforests.

For while Wickes and B&Q both loudly trumpet their green credentials, both have been supplying wood produced in clear breach of standards.Environmentalists are particularly worried about the accelerating destruction of the Borneo rainforest, which threatens the orang-utan with extinction, along with an irreplaceable eco-system of rare creatures and plants.At particular risk is the rainforest in the Malaysian state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo, where corruption has in recent decades led to deforestation. The Mail’s investigation centres on Asia Plywood, which boasts on its website that its operation is based in Sarawak. Pictures show huge piles of logs loaded on to a ship on Sarawak’s Rajang river. The FSC was warned in 2010 that the products contained a high proportion of rainforest hardwood, with the low price a clue it did not come from sustainable plantations in New Zealand. The wood has been harvested from endangered rainforests harbouring the world¿s dwindling orang-utan population

As such, it was claimed, the wood should not have been given FSC certification indicating that it was ‘responsibly sourced’. A forestry expert shopper later said analysis of Asia Plywood bought at both B&Q and Wickes in Stockport showed high proportions of hardwood likely to be from Sarawak rainforest.The FSC eventually referred the claims to investigators at SCS last month, who reported: ‘The FSC products sold by Asia Plywood between February 25, 2011, and present are not FSC-certified... We have requested Asia Plywood remove the FSC label from any products that they have in stock and that Asia Plywood request the same of customers.’ In fact, the FSC then told UK retailers the wood it had supplied before the end of December was still suitable for sale. An industry source said: ‘Consumers are being duped. The tragedy is that this  rare and beautiful rainforest hardwood is being sold off as plywood as the system is not dealing with the cheats.’ Asked why it continued to sell Asia Plywood products, a B&Q spokesman said: ‘We sought and received written assurances from the FSC, as recently as January 13, that current stock is certified.
