If they have a painter coming for something - ie poor paintwork - its not that hard to fix a few extras. Being nice from the start is a big help - they probably get so many people who attack them ... Our bloke actually found things we hadn't seen !!! So - I'd start with the attitude they are not trying to con you. Some people can come across at the start as angry. I don't mean you behave like a walk over - but see how it goes. AND - stand your ground if you really think something is an issue - eg the ensuite. Having a list and keeping notes - on each item - is a great start. They realise you will have it later and mean business. Re: Leaking Ensuite? 16Mar 21, 2017 2:36 pm Yeah needs fixing for sure! To see how bad it is you can do a flood test. Put something over the drain and fill up water in the base about 10mm and let it sit. You will soon see how bad it is.

The reason being, if he is serious about rectifying the issue (which I hope he is) it is important that the conditions remain unaltered. If he knows what he is doing, the water marks will tell a story which should aid in identifying the underlying issue. As far as paint blemishes and other visual type defects, generally speaking if the issue can be seen from a normal viewing position (1.5m away in normal lighting conditions - no handheld lights, glancing light or close ups) then the issue should be considered. In the meantime, I agree with St Mike - you should concentrate on having a complete list of all concerns drawn up prior to the meeting. Hope this helps. Re: Leaking Ensuite? 18Mar 22, 2017 3:21 pm i had the same issue with my last build.... got pretty bad to the point it finally reached the door/exit to the bedroom.... Had them eliminate the showerscreen once the went crazy with the silicone and that didnt work, next the tiler came out to take a look at his work and lastly the waterproofer came out..... what had happened is basically because of the semi frameless and low step up, due to poor installation of the waterproofing and this barrier sheet the water was breaching it. ps i dont get this attitude about project home builders vs custom builds.... regardless of cost there is no excuse for poor workmanship.... if a company cannot produce a quality house like they tell you they can then they should be in a different field I said after the 1st build “ never again “ & now im on my 3rd Re: Leaking Ensuite? 20Apr 08, 2017 12:08 pm Sometimes even a inch of missed gaulking will mean big water problems, get to ground level to check shower, also some builders only water proof shower area etc, don't do total area, smaller builders generally put more. Money behind walls etc, you don't see this and it's one of the biggest differences. DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Hi, I've got a brand new (2nd hand) Bosch Hydropower 16H tankless hot water heater.
