Does anyone know please if there is such a thing as having an expert inspection/report carried out on installed fitted furniture that would hold up in a court of law?.
I believe there is at least one person on here that does fitted furniture etc etc so was wondering if he or anyone else could point me in the right direction please?.
Thank you.
Talking a lot of money here for what I believe is a standard one would never reasonably expect.
Thanks.

I couldn't help you re court cases, I generally don't have dissapointed customers as all my work comes from recommendations.
What I will say, I don't believe anyone could be that unlucky to keep finding **** tradesmen. Have you ever considered that you might be the problem? From all the posts, and not knowing you from Adam I'm in two minds as to whether the work is decent, you just don't want to pay for it. Or the other option would be that you are a nightmare to work for, and the trades are wanting to run away the day they start

It's really not him,the builders they have used are unbelievable.The guy that does the work knows nothing about how to do anything correctly.He gets away with it as a family member sorts out any financial issues and they sub contract to any cowboy so long as they are the cheapest.Tazi knows I can speak about it and I could name names but I won't until all these issues are resolved.Tazi is not the first to go through this with these and unfortunately won't be the last

I just don't get it, must be 3 years since the first posts on here about it. How are the same firm still working there? If its been through a legal process already, surely there is an independent surveyor overseeing the work?

Come to think of it I had a new number come through and never stopped to think that it was yourself and didn't dare reply to it just in case it was some sort of scam.
Cheers mate. Will take a look and store it.

There's an awful lot that has gone on and continuing to now go on even under new contractors.
All will become clear when in a position to.

They did indeed uncover major problems mate and believe it or not there is issues with these latest contractors too. Wait until I'm in a position to send photos of this latest contraption/s as you will not believe your eyes. If I didn't have photos and videos anyone would think that it's just me and has gone stark raving bonkers.

I guess wrens have a poor reputation then. These ones must be doing work on the side after doing their 9-5 with wrens.

Do you really believe that I'd be prepared to spend a grand or two on an inspection/report without first realizing how totally 5h1t it is?.

Oh my life......
Wait until you see my daughters.
I mean when you request and document that you want a sink in with a left handed drainer what could possibly go wrong?.
Well, yes you've guessed it my daughter from the previous builder had installed a right handed drainer.

From what i can discover from you previous posts, it probably is a left hand drainer installed incorrectly

Can't help on the legalities. My garden gate guarantee is in the paperwork.
I met a ‘plumber' once who thought a right side drain sink had a DRAIN on the right, not a draining board. Could be the mix up?

There was no mix up as it was clearly documented.

Noj.
I'm pretty sure that you had sent me your email address once where I sent you photos from that previous cowboy builder.
If yourself or anyone else would like to see images of this ongoing fitted furniture escapade then please private message me your email address and I'll pop them over a few for you/all to see. Would appreciate all your feedback afterwards though.
Cheers.

To be fair Tazi there can be reasons for changing the sink handing that may not be apparent at first glance. I have to make alterations to drawings all the time. Communication is clearly a big problem here though, as is trust. I dare say you could have a great team go in to put the place right, but as communication is crap and there's nobody with the trust or authority to make decisions on how to get over the issues it'll never get completed to your satisfaction

It will get completed to the satisfaction that is required. The previous contractor had no right to do as he had pleased without clarifying what his thoughts, plans and reasons were without discussing with the contract administrator ‘who was overseeing the project at that time' my daughters OT and her solicitor so would be wrong to suggest that there is no one with trust or authority.
Let's not forget the previous contractor ‘and this current one' have to adhere to what is suitable for disabled people and if any objections are raised they should be at that time, or if problems arise during then solutions need to be discussed with all of the above previous mentioned and not just carry on and do what you believe is best for anyone, let alone for disabled people.

There you go.
a small issue arises, the tradesman offers two possible solutions to the bloke above him, who passes it on to the person above him and so on until the answer comes back down the chain to the tradesman who is now balls deep on someone else's job because you can't scratch your arse for hours/days waiting.
"it's all right there on paper" unfortunately houses aren't made out of paper, and mistakes can't be rubbed out and redrawn

Much like your first reply, not a clue.
So, the tradesman ‘well cowboy as it turned out to be more precise' is balls deep on someone else's job.....and yet he/his company signed the contract.

Have you had a building dispute solicitor look at the defective work and go over the contract particulars?
Going back many years I had to get a structural dispute solicitor to evaluate and overlook a claim I had against a contractor with design responsibility on defective work, there are many types of claims solicitors in very trade specific fields.

My daughter has court of protection and a solicitor as her deputy even prior to building work being carried out. Fortunately she has all the protection that one could ever ask for.
Thanks mate for your reply and appreciate your thoughts and perhaps guidance but fortunately my daughter has all that in place.

The other room in which there is to be fitted furniture the floor is to be laid in ceramic tile prior to any fitting of it. Not with these jokers though as they've obviously not read the minutes.
