    Warranty used as an excuse for poor quality.

    Apart From ! Despite them - being up on the roof half a dozen times to fix the cement bedding for the tiles around the dormer - fixing a leak that was caused by the flashing not being long enough they didn't spot the fundamental problem that all the houses in the cul-de-sac suffer from...

    DW Home - Built and available.. when to inspect?

    Re:DW Home - Built and available.. when to inspect Agree entirely with Tony re getting the Solicitor to include the remedial work as a clause. We bought a property 10 months ago from Miller homes and didn't get the chance to snag it before exchanging contracts - 10 months on we're still...

    Window scratch regulations?

    My advice would be to log it with NHBC as soon as possible, i'm sure there is some limit on glass scratches been reported to the Builder so the sooner the better even if you don't need the NHBC. Try and get the builder to put it in writing that they won't remedy the work, that way you have...

    Strathclyde Homes

    MD's hate being rung up at home of an evening and it seems to kick them into getting problems resolved - it seemed to work when I called up Keith Miller at home of an evening !(not that I condone stalking ) Peter Brogan - according to the electoral roll I have access to, there are 6 living...

    Black brickwork

    :blush:Firstly ignore my post about Peter Brogan and Strathclyde, that was destined for another post (it was late last night). :blush: I'm no expert on building matters but that does look unsightly to me. As for it been damp course, wouldn't have thought so. DPC has to be 2 courses of...

    Black brickwork

    Try uploading the pic to the snagging photos area on the left hand menu, http://www.snagging.org/option,com_gallery/Itemid,43.html and we can take a look from there. There is a building regulation(Regulation M as I recall) that states you have to have disabled access i.e. wheelchair and...

    Miller Homes - The Exchange

    Can you clarify what searches Millers were waiting for. Searches are normally initiated by your solicitor and will local authority, land registry, mining etc. I can't think of any searches that the builder would perform at this late stage.
