Builders are obligated to rectify any defect arising from their failure to construct in compliance with the standards specified by their insurance and warranty provider. However, these standards can be subjective, making the situation complicated. You may deem something to be a fault, but the builder may contest it. But they must demonstrate why the issue is compliant with Building Regulations and in line with the Building Warranty Providers Technical Standards.

If communication between you and the builder deteriorates, your warranty provider can provide a resolution service at no cost.
