Hi Kay in what way did the builder say the joists were unsuitable? I am presuming your flat is leasehold and that you pay a monthly or annual maintenance fee, this money is normally used to maintain the fabric of the building. Contact the freeholder or their agent to see if the repairs to the joists are covered do not complete any work until they have had chance to view it as you are unlikely to be reimbursed, you should not have to cover the cost yourself.
