9 months ago a builder built me a single storey extension. Last week the radiator in the extension didn’t work and I put it down to a frozen pipe and worried about it bursting so I went searching for it.
After going into my ceiling I found the radiator flow + return pipes were sat on top of the insulation board, not lagged and essentially just open to the elements.
I was pretty gobsmacked, and in Building Regs document L It clearly states that pipe work should be lagged when they pass outside heated living space, inc where pipework passes through voids.
I have called the plumber who did the work asking for them to cover the cost of the replastering work which I feel is more than fair but they are refusing.
Is there anything I can do or is it me that will just have to take the hit.
