Hi All
Need some advice re a new build job we did last year.
Had a call from the developer today to say the owner had reported a leak on hallway rad. They have a water stain on skirting board. See attached pic.
Its been 13 months since we finished the job. Obviously it was all properly pressure tested and filled up at the time and has been sweet for over a year.
To me it sounds like the guy has hit the compression elbow with the hoover and loosened it slightly causing a small weep. He had to top pressure up a few weeks ago.
The developers have been on my case today (sunday which has already p***ed me off) asking us to go back immediately to sort it out. However I do not think we are liable. We give 12 months on all of our work, obviously developer has given 2 years.
If I do go back would I be right to charge them. Trouble is the job isn’t just around the corner either so its a right ballbag to get over to.
Just wondered your thoughts?
Just to add this was the developers first new build and all the trades there basically carried them. After we had fitted they increased the size of the skirting hence the horrendous cut on it!
