Damp problem in 5 year old house.
I reported the (damp) problem on 9th March 2026. The NHBC surveyor didn’t visit me until 14th April. I received their offer around 24th April and then had to get quotes for the work. Two quotes were around 50% more than NHBC offer. After many phone calls and emails, they finally accepted one of the quotes on 12th June. It has been a three month process.

Hi Teresa. Thank you for your feedback and for your patience throughout this process. We’re sorry for the delays and understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly with the time taken to review quotes. We’re pleased we were able to reach an agreement in the end, and your comments will help us improve our timelines and communication going forward. Thanks, Anne
A Joint Solution to a Joint Problem is the way forward.
The initial response and investigation by the Claims Investigator was without fault. The major problem encountered was our claim was initially "paired" with the claim for our next door neighbour but their work was undertaken and completed without any work to our property. The subsequent time-scale to address the problems with our property has extended to over two years since the claim was first made.

Leaking bay window
Your site surveyor understood the issue and accurately provided a detailed report of what corrective actions were needed to correct the problem and prevent and further leaks. NHBC went on to support through the works until all remedial works were completed. Very pleased with the whole process.

Highly recommend
Honestly was dreading this whole experience but everyone I spoke to (on the phone - best way to get hold of people!) was amazing. So thorough, so helpful, so friendly. Explain everything and all worries in detail. Shoutout to Hamza for spending so much time explaining things to me. Also got my cash settlement quickly and all very easy and smooth.
The process takes time, but mainly due to the developer being slow. NHBC were amazing.

Poor Communication, pointless organisation
I went through the make a claim on the NHBC website and received a really strange email, it seemed to be from a human, but explaining what the NHBC do and a link to the form I'd already completed. I emailed back explaining I'd already done that - no reply after a few days so I had to phone. The person I spoke to was helpful, but ultimately my issue with windows, whilst covered in theory doesn't come up to the minimum amount of £2000 so not really. I'm not completely surprised, but needed to check, but after many years of dealing with the NHBC, I don't really see the point of their existence.

Following a lengthy claim process with…
Following a lengthy claim process with NHBC, I have been left disappointed by the overall experience.
Whilst NHBC ultimately accepted and paid out for a roof leak affecting my property, the process of getting there was unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. Throughout the investigation, I felt there was a strong focus on attributing issues to homeowner behaviour rather than fully investigating potential underlying causes.
Several mould and damp concerns were dismissed as condensation despite what I felt were reasonable questions regarding the sudden appearance of the issues after years without problems. Explanations provided often felt speculative, and many of my concerns were not properly addressed.
The accepted roof defect involved solar panel flashings, yet once NHBC opted for a cash settlement, I was left to source specialist contractors myself. Despite multiple contractors attending, obtaining quotations proved extremely difficult due to the nature of the work. I found it disappointing that no practical assistance could be offered in helping identify suitable contractors.
To be fair, NHBC did eventually accept responsibility for the roof leak and make a payment. However, the overall claims and complaints process left me with little confidence that my concerns were investigated thoroughly or impartially.
Based on my experience, I would encourage homeowners to keep detailed records, photographs, and correspondence from the outset.

Thank you again for reaching out and sharing your experience. We’re sorry it wasn’t a positive one, and we wish you all the best going forward. Thanks, Anne
Refusing to take responsibility for work commissioned by them
We had a false chimney removed by a roofer employed by NHBC - AFTER the work was done we noted that on one side of roof near the ridge was staining and mold - apparently that is nothing to do with them ?? to put it politely this decision is somewhat bizarre
