Conservatory Roof Leaks and Company has now gone Bankrupt
Rodweiller
Posts: 4 Newbie
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere or in the wrong area of this forum:
A few years back we had a conservatory fitted.
Recently following some strong winds we noticed that roof is leaking around the area of the opening roof light.
I have tried to contact the company that fitted the conservatory but it has gone bankrupt.
Do I have to pay to repair the leaking roof or do I have other options?
Many thanks for reading. :j

Did you pay for ANY of it via finance? And how many years is "a few"?
If so then Section 75 is your friend.

No, i didn't pay any finance.
I believe the conservatory came with a ten year guarantee and we have only had it about 5 years.0 -

Did you use a Credit Card to make ANY of the payment ?
Also, check the Warranty - it may be underwritten by a company still in business ?“That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing.”0 -
Finance includes credit cards as mentioned by phoodles and eluded to in my post above, as finance includes CC's.
For future reference, any purchase over £100. should have at least £1. put onto a credit card for exactly this occurrence as it will give you protection under S75.

If the leak is as a result of storm damage, your household insurance may cover it.The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0
