hi guys
Just had a new extension shell done and apparently builders says it’s all water tight and have now deemed the project as complete.
Recently had a plasterer come to plaster the walls and we noticed a wet patch in a corner of the wall which the plasterer will not plaster as the plaster will just drop off.
I’ve gone back to the builders who claim that it’s not a leak and it’s not possible for water to breach a cavity, so thus yet he is refusing to believe it’s his problem.
Not sure now what to do, except get rendering organised to waterproof the exterior of the shell. But I don’t think i should patch this problem, as water should not be breaching from the external leaf to the internal leaf anyway.
I would like to get some sort of evidence to suggest poor workman ship from the builders. Does anyone have any suggestions what to look for that I can use as evidence to get the builders to come back and correct the work.
