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.

    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
    • yes that's the one!  it was (nearly) harmless fun to get the un-initiated to put the coin in for you i also seem to remember that the Hanway Street place was called Govinda's.  it was vegetarian, vegan even - but it was much more palatable fare than the standard Hare Krishna stuff.  I also used to go tot he Indian Y - which I remmber discussing on the EDF some eyars ago.  And then the first Wagamama opened off Russell Street
