Hi
I wonder if someone could please maybe advise me.......
There's a prolem with the (gas) heating in my house at the moment and i've had a plumber in to take a look. The pressure is continuously dropping which means the radiators upstairs aren't heating at all.
I bought the house (new) 3 years ago. The plumber advised me that the root of the problem is a leak in one of the pipes leading to one of the radiators, and that this leak is the fault of the plumbers that built the house and has been there since the house was built.
To fix the issue the he has to dig up the floor and advises me that it will be an expensive job. He also said that if this isn't rectified, all the radiators in the house will have rusted rotten within 12 months and will have to be replaced, which would be a huge job.
I've contacted my house insurance company but they won't cover it because it's not 'accidental damage'. I've contacted Homebond but they won't cover it because they don't cover the 'services', they will only cover structural damage.
I've tried to contact the builder, who has long since left the area, to no avail.
Any advice on what i could do would be greatly appreciated....
