Second hand conservatory leaking but installers won't admit fault
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 2.54 PM
I bought a conservatory from a friend which I thought was in good condition. However it leaks. The installers have been out twice but to see if they can fix it but it still leaks. They are now saying that they are not liable for the leak because it is a second hand conservatory and said it is a poor quality one at that. I disagree. What are my rights as I am having a building inspector out and may need to take this further?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Ask yourself, why was the original owner selling the conservatory ???
Fitted correctly shouldn,t have a problem so long as the second hand conservatory is still of merchantable quality ???

If I was fitting a 2nd conservatory I to would not be liable for its condition, but I would make you aware of this before I carried out any work.

Get hold of the person who sold you the conservatory and take him to court, he has sold you a faulty product. It is not the installer who is at fault as a rule so please do not keep expecting him to come around.
It is a case of buyer beware.
