And the information we want is the name & address of the CEO's of the following companies please:

Wimpey Homes
National House Building Council

thanks in advance
 
After years of dealing with the Wimpey organisation, I know that they have a large number of Regional Managing Directors. In case it is useful, here is a list:

Wimpey MDs

And the Chief Executive of the NHBC is Imtiaz Farookhi.
 
Cheers for the assistance folks. Spent my week off trying to direct water in non-damaging directions due to wimpey's inability to put together houses that can stand a little rain.

And now the feckers want me to wait until the end of January to have it rectified and I may have to pay for it to be done myself, despite the fact that the problem is shoddy materials/workmanship. :angy:

Needless to say I am extremely unhappy at this turn of events and may resort to gelding one or more of those named above.
 
Does anyone know where I can obtain information on how the NHBC is funded? Can't find anything on their website or with a google, but if anyone knows of somewhere.........

They are funded by a levy on those builders who are NHBC members and I can tell you that no one would want to be stripped of their NHBC registration.

Is the property under a NHBC "Buildmark" warranty?
 
Not sure what the law is in Scotland but in England if not NHBC covered they could be liable under Section1 Defective Premises Act 1972 .
 
As the building was built by Wimpey, it is covered under an NHBC Buildmark warranty.

The potential problem lies in the fact that for the period from 3-10 years, the Buildmark warranty will only cover the cost of rectification if it comes to over £732. A figure which they claim to be index linked from the £500 which it was when the house was built five years ago. I am unable to locate any index which would take that amount over circa £630, so presumably the index is one which they make up themselves on an arbitrary basis from year to year.

I am still awaiting the Claims Investigator's estimate of cost on which they will decide whether to pay up or not and have decided to hold off from contacting any CEO's unless they refuse to pay up.

I would however, be extremely interested to know how they come to the conclusion that cement washing away due to excessive quantities of sand somehow becomes my fault after 2 years.

The funding question was to establish which points I should be making to whom and to confirm a suspected link between the two. Brian's answer is pretty much what I had thought it would be.

Cheers again for the help! :D
