Builder gone into administration, need advice

We have had some building work done, builder has completed it before Christmas. Some of the work is still outstanding and there are now problems as well with some of his work (the rendering is cracking, Vu-Fold doors do not open and close properly, could go on)!

This morning, I find out through a third party his company has gone into admininstration.

We have been writing to him for months now asking that he sort out the problems, we have never received a response. He has, however, indicated this morning to the third party that he is unwilling to put right our problems.

So, we will need to take him to court. My question is, is this viable, given the fact his company is in administration? Even if the judge decides in our favour, will we ever get any money/help from him?

you cant sue him for his negligence while the company is bankrupt, because all legal action is prevented while in administration. you need to claim under hte bankruptcy, but I'm really nto sure if you would gbet very far.
