Dave L has mentioned the electrics but I'm hoping that as you've got a
concrete slab ground floor (if you had wood over void you wouldn't be
back in yet after the last flood) your electrics are down the wall
from the ceiling void above which would hopefully just mean a drying
period and replacement of the socket fronts etc.

I think the insurance will insist on a rewire if the water has got to any
open ends of cable like in back boxes etc.

This would mean a complete ground floor strip out plus probably some
floor lifting upstairs and Baz would be living elsewhere for months.
However, I'm hoping (praying) that, from Baz's description, it's a
case of water soaking up the plaster rather than the flood level
reaching the electrics.
