I had a home renovation/extension completed in July of last year (all went well thankfully) but I had some privacy concerns and the building company stated that my house would not be finished until I had gates fitted. They also stated that they had the right guy to do this (the builders brought the wolf to my door)
The gates I had fitted were made of composite wood encased with steel. They are approximately 2m x 5m in length combined.
The gates were attached to regular brick pillars.
The gates when fitted looked really well and I was extremely happy with them. Cost of gates were €2.5k
Unfortunately within 2 weeks the pillars starting coming off my walls. The gates had to be taken down and the pillars were demolished.
The gate maker has taken zero responsibility for this and stated his job was to make the gates
The building company said that when someone is recommended by them a certain standard is expected and they would rectify it but 9 months later I am still waiting.
I am unsure what I should do as I feel I have been given the run around by everyone involved. The site is actually a danger at present.
Can anyone offer some advice as to whether i should look at legal proceedings (cost of gates are in excess of small claims rules and I am looking at a further €1k to €2k to re-hang the gates attached to steel with the pillars built around them
