Faulty Roof

Our house is 5 years old.  We brought it second hand 3 years ago.  Briefly - We had solar panels fitted to our tiled roof.  This resulted in damage to roof tiles (although prior to this tiles were coming off due to high winds) and daylight showing through the roof.  Contacted solar panel installer, said the fixings used to build roof on construction were not of standard quality and had rusted, so we contacted the builder who referred us to the NHBC as no longer his problem, but he did accept incorrect fixings had been used.  Nobody is interested in helping us or admitting blame.  We did not have holes in our roof until after solar panels were installed, but solar panel company will not do anything as the fixings used to construct the roof are incorrect.  NHBC will not accept a claim.  What can we do please. This has been going on for over a year now and we still have holes in our roof.
