| I posted this the other day. BAA Everest window scheme is fast proving a disaster for us. A huge number of the windows are scratched. The french door is still in the back garden as one of the two doors was missing a fortnight ago and hasn't been tracked down yet. Taking advantage of the time it has lain in the garden meant we could check it over and the hinges are scratched. One window installed upstairs is meant for downstairs and the one downstairs is not meant to be so they have re ordered. The 'machine cut' window sill for the downstairs bay was the wrong size so a piece of wood arrived on site without the tools to cut it to size - so it split and now has to be re ordered and I haven't a clue how they will get the other one out without damaging the frame ... ? The man had to work without scaffolding taking huge pieces of glass backwards down a ladder (lots of questions from us about this I can tell you). The one piece of scaffolding that was ordered,over the porch, didn't have an access point so they had to climb over the top of the bars and it was installed 'under' the window ledges to our porch which has bent the UPVC sills and split the sealant. Everest was supposed to be back this week to confirm a list of the work and didn't turn up so after phone calls they are supposed to be here on Monday - I suppose that means nothing has been reordered? Hubby suggested that they might like to forget the visit and just re order the lot. |
