Having gone through buiding a sizeable estension, Io find myself in the position where I'm having considerable difficulty getting the builder to deal with the snag list. (for reasons too complex to present here, I didn't hold enough back to the point where the builder is probaly covered. However I am where I am).
the bottom line is that I need to set a point at which I have to acknowledge that he's not prepared to carry out the work. He's had the snag list for about three months now and despite various promises he hasn't shown.
Some of the work remaining to be done is quite significant both in terms of its importance (uneven guttering causing blockages) and compliance with various regulations (some windows don't open, shorter than regulation minimum, etc)
I'm strongly considering contacting the solicitor. I feel I'd be on strong ground given the breach of regulations. I'd be interested in people's opinions on how realsitic this option is in terms of achieving the desired outcome.
My other question is whether there's a building inspectorate or any related agency to which i could report the matter, particulalrly in the context of the breach of regulations.
Any help appreciated.
