We bought a house in December 2008, its an eco - friendly house, with air ventilation system and solar panels.
Since 2008, the company who supplied the ventilation system have been back a number of times for various problems and the plumber has been back because the solar panel system is losing pressure and needs to be refilled.
End of last year 2010, discovered some leakage from the Solar Panel system where the pipes are joined. The builder has been back to look at it and has said the plumber will be in to fix it, that was in November we still have not seen the plumber and it could be a couple of weeks because the plumber is now up to his eyes with other work.
My question to anyone out there, is what would you do at this stage, would you go to a Solicitor and get a letter sent legally?
We are completely peed off with this.
To be fair the Builder comes and looks at it anytime we report a problem but my concern is that some day he is just going to stop coming and we will be left with the bill for the repair.
Where do we stand legally?
If you really want thsi to be sorted, then in my opinion, you may need to stop relying on the Contractor and Plumber and take independent professional advice on both the ventilation system and the solar panel installation.
I would engage a competent mechanicla and electrical consulting engineers to inspect both installations and issue a rport.
If the firms involved are simply not able to perform due to a lack of competence or training the report should point out the reasons for the continuing or patent defects and any other latent defects not yet apparent.
You may find that this will cost you less than a solicitor for more focussed results, but a solicitors letter will advise the builder that all your professional costs will be borne by him and that you are not satisfied with his failed attempts to remedy matters and that you hold him and the plumber and the ventilations system installer liable for any and all repairs and replacements.
I accept what you say has validity - its just not my way.
