A few months ago, we had a front door and facade replaced. Trouble is that now faults are appearing - it's hard to open/close/lock/unlock the door. A carpenter that was calling to do some other work expressed surprise at the quality of workmanship.
We've asked the original builder to look at the door - it's under warranty. He's coming but he's sounding peeved and I anticipate problems. In earlier correspondence, general stuff about the warranty, he said that if there were problems with the door, we'd have to go to the retailer (but we don't have a receipt as he sourced the door) - ditto with the paintwork.
But it's not the door itself that's the problem - it's the hanging of it.
I hope he puts right what was a very pricey job properly and willingly. If he's not prepared to, blaming, eg, the construction of the door (which wouldn't be right), is there legislation I can point to? I really hope that it doesn't come to that, of course. Thanks for any advice.
