Hi,
I recently had a kitchen extension built and after a spell of heavy rain we noticed a couple of wet patches on the ceiling. Builder just finished up a few weeks ago - and unfortunately has been more or less paid up. He has come back to try and fix the leak - mostly with sealant between tiles, but this has not fixed it.
There is still a line of communication open and he says he'll come around again to investigate and replace tiles if needed...but he already had an attempt at fixing it and didn't. We don't know for sure if its fixed until we get the next spell of heavy rain.
What is the best way to proceed if his next attempt at fixing it also fails? Don't want it to drag on for months - especially if a roofing specialist is required to really fix it.
From talking to others - it sounds like leaks after building work are not too uncommon - but obviously should not be happening.
Any info appreciated.
