My ex-builder cast the foundation for my single story rear extention. He was dishonest so we parted ways. He gave me a 10 years warranty and an invoice for the job.
My new builder started this week he yesturday he drew my attention to the fact that a pieced of concrete 40cm long chipped of the corner of my foundations with a light knock to the concrete. The concrete feels porous and a bit crumbly. The chip broke in half in my hand with little effort. As you can imagine I'm a little posses off about that.
My current builder thinks that the offending section of the footings don't look right and he invited the building control surveyor to have a look.
Can I rely on a buildning control survayour to certify that the footings are ok? If not, what do I need to do to conclusively find out if my footings are right?
