    Responsibility for quality of work

    Hi, I have a beauty salon opening in a couple weeks. I hired the same builder to install plumbing throughout the shop — which includes 5 pedicure benches, 3 utility sinks, and a bar area. Despite being hired 2.5 months ago, he just told me now that the boiler does not work — a couple weeks before planned opening and while I’m at the end of my budget. Firstly, how much of an issue can I make of it that the builder didn’t check the system far in advance of now, and secondly, is the boiler his responsibility (we agreed to him handling plumbing and this is for a £20,000+ full shop fitting/renovation) or mine? Of course, I should’ve thought to check when I signed the lease, but lesson learned. Thanks for any help!!!! - Cathy
