I recently had a new external door fitted into the brickwork by knocking through with a new lintel fitted. I was charged £600 for the work
However i was very disapointed with the quality of the work as the existing brickwork was just cut using a power saw. The door frame was inserted on the outer edge of the brick no doubt to cover up the cut bricks. The frame was not even set square as parts of the frame was proud of the brick work.
Then as the sealing agent, a thin bead of mortar was inserted this would not have prevented water ingress and would fail with frost etc. Should the builder have toothed out the brickwork and set the fame into the brickwork.
I am looking at the possible action via small claims court, any comments
