Recovery of monies spent correcting defective exterior brickwork

Wingrove Law advised the purchaser of a new build home that suffered from substandard exterior brickwork which failed to comply with NHBC's tolerances in 'A Consistent Approach to Finishes' for reasonable straightness on plan and in section. The pointing was also generally poor resulting in a poor cosmetic finish. The housebuilder offered to undertake some limited repointing but refused to correct the defects in straightness, and the NHBC also refused the claim.

The homeowner arranged to undertake remedial works at his own cost to achieve the contractual workmanship requirement. Wingrove Law then acted for the homeowner in court proceedings against the housebuilder and successfully recovered the majority of the money spent plus all costs, whilst ensuring the homeowner did not lose any remaining cover under his NHBC Buildmark policy.
