how long is contractor liable for work

GALWEGIAN2015 · 2017-02-23 19:32:02

Hi We hired a contractor to build our house 4 years ago. It was completed in November 2013. We have noticed a problem with the plumbing. In the kitchen ceiling there is a couple of damp spots. The pipes run along here so there must be a leak. Just wondering is the contractor still liable after a certain number of years?…

unless written into a contract that builder covers "latent defects" for a specified period then, nope not liable at all.

latent defects insurance / house insurance should cover it.
