  • I assume there's some kind of insurance that can pay to get someone else in to fix or is it a court battle to have it repaired?

  • You'd think insurance would cover it, but despite notifying our house insurance provider and providing them with a copy of the builder's insurance there appears to be no cover for this anywhere!

    We're still working on it, but the long and short of it is that our home policy doesn't cover damage caused by the builder's incompetence or negligence and his policy doesn't cover him for the type of building work he was undertaking.

  • THere's no national cover for this? Like when a bank shits it?

    Surely that's illegal on his part and this is now a legal matter and you should be able to reclaim costs through the courts (cue: fucking ballache and years of bullshit). Fuck, that shithouse (bad pun sorry).

    What about those Builder from Hell shows? Get them to track him down (and then after the show find him, kneecap him unless he empties his bank account for you)

  • Hello,

    Who did the structural calculations? Have you got attached neighbours?

    It is not just bricks and mortar, it is your home.

    Speak to the insurance ombudsman, they may be able to help.

  • Hope you and your family are safe.
