Hi,
I had an extension built about 1.5 years ago. Unfortunately the flat roof which is fibber glass shows signs of water penetration and this is causing issues with the kitchen electrics. My builder is saying that the works had a warrantee for only 1 year!. There is nothing in the contract to mention the 1 year and he never mentioned to me the 1 year when we were drafting the contract. Is this legal cause other things have gone wrong since, plus other small mistakes with the works. But my main issue is the roof.
Can this be legal, i always thought that builders have to have 10 years warrantee. This is major works which cost 100k plus, not just some small repair. I saw that Small Claims court might be an easy option as he is not returning my calls and he basically told me that 1 year is his limit.
Thank you for any advice.
