Builder also made a mess of the grout. Threw his toys out of pram and off he went. Upset me in the end. I think we are going to have to try to get someone to take slabs off to cut holes inline with drainage holes. There are two drainage holes each side of wall from brickwork. Is that enough. In fact the first builder covered up drainage holes too. I appreciate your advice and thank you for taking the time to reply. This job has cost double my first house!! Caused so much stress. Knowing we are going to have escalating problems is difficult to take.

I have lots of pictures. But only able to put one at a time on this site. Appreciate your advice. Biggest problem is getting someone to drill the holes.

Hi, where in South Wales. Being cheeky don’t suppose you have any advice on my patio drainage issues. In South Wales and living a nightmare with our garden remodel! Sorry we ever embarked on this project. Goodluck with your project. Teresa

Having issues with patio. Have had patio put down, lifted and redone x2. Last builder left last step too high and I had to have a third chap in to add another step. Initially the wall cracked with cracking to grout on upper patio and steps wall. Now after second fitting we have some cracking to grout on wall at top of steps and top patio. They have covered the drainage holes on the bottom walls. There is a brick wall under the bottom walls with drainage holes beneath slabs. We really don’t know what to do. We cannot keep paying out. Any ideas. My husband thinks it’s possibly a drainage issue. The water does not have anywhere to drain. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you
