new wall not straight

[wdw1312]

Hi

I have just had some building work done and would like to seek some advice. I have had a wall that was separating my bathroom and toilet knocked through to create one big bathroom. A new stud wall that has been done I have noticed is not level horizontally. This means the door frame is not level at the top or bottom. I have paid for the building work for to be done, and have only really noticed the above problem since the builder has left.

Where does this leave me? Am I entitled for the work to be corrected without any additional cost? If the builder does not agree with the problem, what can I do?

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure what you mean. "Level" means perfectly horizontal, and I don't think you mean that do you?

Do you mean that the frame is sticking out more at the top than the bottom?

Have door linings/door been fitted yet?

Could you be a bit clearer with what you mean?

Yeah sorry if it sounds a strange one. Basically when applying a spirit level to the original brick wall and then applying it to the start of the new stud wall over the new door frame, the spirit level does not lie flat by about 5 degrees or so. The new stud wall 'goes in' when looking along the original brick to the new stud wall.

Still clear as mud

You seem to be saying that the wall is not square off another wall or in line with another wall?

But there is not enough detail to comment, as there could be loads of reasons why it has been built like it has

Is the room it is creating actually square?
