Found this in my 4 year old house...

I am afraid it is caveat emptor when purchasing a house. Any defect not picked up during a survey (you did have a survey?) may be actionable depending on what level of survey you had. However I doubt this would be covered by a survey as most take the cheapest option survey. So whatever defects you have inherited are yours to deal with.

Its the sad reflection of what happens when unskilled people "throw" homes together .................

i'm just waiting for lego to up their game and make their blocks 18" x 9". good insulation value and no need for bodgit the builder. all homes could then be self-build. "click and go".

Trouble is you'd get home to find your home has been nicked.

Just saw a clip on the news about a brick-laying robot.
Is the writing on the wall for sparkies?

You're lucky it's 6.0mm most new builds have only 2.5, when I used to work for a company that did new houses we took the T& E outside to an IP box to convert to SWA.Although not textbook if the other end was soundly made off using gland and preferably earthnut wouldn't of worried.
