Same here, mastic is also splitting and coming away from the surfaces it was applied to. Southwark council have continued to use Saltash. Surely if a company with a contract does not fulfill standards the contract should be annulled?

We had major works in out block over 4 years ago. I disputed the standard of the work for 2 years. It took me that long to get a resolution, which was them knocking ?1,000 off the ?20,000 bill. We are now being told that we have to buy new front doors as ours are no longer fire compliant - they were in 2015 - but the council now say that they aren't. So I feel another long winded dispute coming on.

It has taken them three months to reply to one email about it. I do feel for the staff, they are massively under resourced and funds are tight. But if the standard of work isn't good enough, they shouldn't be paying out for it or taking your money for it.

We had Saltash back last month to look at work they said they had done.Some jobs had not been finished eg door eased but edge not painted, downpipe brackets not fixed.I also showed them a window repair that was now worse than before repair.I also went over work that they said they had done eg 3 metres of pointing but they could not show me where ,there were other items as well.We were charged ?450 for surveys.The Final Account is due in September.

    • I hate cooking and I can't cook. I live on stuff out of the freezer which I cook once every six months. I exaggerate only slightly.
    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment rates going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.
