Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes. I moved in to a new build in November of last year and on Saturday I noticed a tile on the roof had broken and a piece was on the lawn.

Would this be covered ad part of the NHBC warranty?

Thanks is advance

    Assuming that it was caused by the recent winds, it would not be covered by the NHBC guarantee. If it was caused by a structural defect (unlikely), it would be covered.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Get in touch with the developer. It should be covered by your 2 year snagging guarantee.

    It's not NHBC. That would cover more serious issues.

    Wouldn't you normally claim on your buildings insurance ?

    Do you have buildings insurance ?

    I've just spoken to the builder and they've agreed to send somebody out to fix it.

    Thanks for the advice.
