Hi,
My new build is a year old last month. I have been battling for a year now to get snagging issues resolved. It has become a second job to me.
The property benefits from a MVHR. The kitchen has a MVHR suction pipe in the ceiling. There is a boost switch on the wall. There is an extractor above the cooker hob however it recirculates the air rather than extracting it out of the kitchen meaning the MVHR has sole responsibility for sucking up moisture and food smell.
In short, it is not working correctly. Last week, it was 26 degrees outside, my kitchen windows were covered with condensation and kitchen unit cupboard draws dripping with condensation. The floor wet with condensation. I was cooking a pan of pasta for one. The MVHR was on boost and it made no difference.
I have explained all of this time and time again to builder but they say it is not something they class as a defect so I am on my own.
Can anyone advise me on what I can do. It has actually put me off of cooking and I have been eating ready meals because of the heat and moisture caused by cooking a small and simple meal. Kitchen is about 2.5 by 3mtrs square so not all that large.
Thanks in advance.
