Wembury Extension Blockwork
I hope you don't make the same mistake as me and hire these, what was that? Builders? Lies, broken promises and a standard of workmanship that beggars belief and, more importantly, falls short of Building Regs requirements. How? No wall ties and mortar in the cavity trays to the depth of 3 inches. The window was also off centre by half a foot. I gave them the chance to put things right. They haven't and won't even communicate. I've got to take down everything they did and redo it, putting me back by months because of the making good. I only needed a hand to get up to eaves level which would have taken me quite a while and, as specialists, I thought they could help. Didn't quite go that way though and now I'm considering legal action. They''ve also left me with all those blocks, no longer any good for building, and they've ruined the insulation sheets which no longer have much of the vapour barrier intact and are covered in the mortar. And the walls, such as they were, were so out of true my dog could've done a better job. All they had to do was raise 5 rows of block on an external insulated wall and what they actually did was leave me with a folly, a ruin, a skipfull of brand new rubble and an awful lot of additional work.
