The company was called “fix it” more like bodge it . Even gave me a receipt and circled the “10 workmanship guarantee “ bit ? Like I said elsewhere ; they actually think they’ve done a good job ?

You sure YOU didn’t do my roof ? looks like your handy work ...

Couldn’t agree more . I could of ( indeed would of ) done a better job . Anyway ; flashing ordered - let’s see if I can turn a crap job into a reasonable one ?

You are doing good today!!!

Yeah probably! Funnily by pure chance a builder was nearby on a different job; got him to take a look. He just said "Bodge" , "That'll leak mate; you need flashing"

He had cables crossing cables. Like an X !!!!!!!

I paid them , to get rid of them I’m about to order the flashing , will install myself .

Yep They’ve used it for sealing when it shouldn’t be - hence why flashing required They genuinely think they’ve done a good job !!

They filled the ‘gaps’ with

Guys are here now - adamant that flashing not required . “Going to fill the gaps on the stone wall with liquid plastic “ Probably would be fine ; probably . Will order flashing today once they’ve gone . The flashing won’t be visible as block paving goes over all this .

Do you know - that’s exactly it Im sure these guys / clowns think they’ve done a top job . I assume they’ll do a better job than me simply because I’ve not done it before . Waiting for them to return and ‘finish ‘ Will mention the lack of flashing , but they won’t fix it . Would I want them too anyway ? , no .

So @PeterW is the main issue still the flashing ( or lack of ) ?

Here’s a better photo of the front which I guess is ok

More photos of joy so in the corners do I try to overlap the metal flashing Also the front section ‘under’ the house ; presumably no flashing required there ??

Banned from my local ; can’t think why .....

So @PeterW are you immortal? Can you see my destiny and fate ? TBH ; I can see most of it ? This place is like the pub without the pub

Oh bum ! No fun . ill be good from now on . Can photos be censored? ?

Oh what a (expletive deleted) ! ?

Hey ! who edited my expletives; they were there before . It looks like I can say cock many times without punishment!!! ?

It was f###ing mental police there 4 times in 4 weeks . Ambulance twice . TBH I wanted to f###ing kill her just so I could get my sanity back . As it’s an HMO every tenant left . So just her to extract while mentally and fiscally crippling me . Hang on ! I’ve gone off topic OH F UC K

Problem is my mind set changes . Basically before anyone turns up for the quote I think lieing , bullshitting sack of shit . Usually I still think that by the end of their ‘ sales pitch ‘ . Cynic in me does the same with prospective tenants . Though the last one really threw me , rape , self harm , drugs, knife attacks ; what shit I must consume on a daily basis . Yum yum !?????

Have to be honest once what I saw at a friends amazed me . They were having a new kitchen fitted and the so called electrician had wired ‘shortest’ route . He literally have wires crossing the wall ; not vertical from sockets . I wet myself laughing when I saw it . Sparky got angry and asked what was so funny . I said how the (expletive deleted) are you meant to fix any units ? . Guess where the wire is ??? He then got a bit pissy . So I told him on my friends behalf ( who seemed unaware of the issue ) to (expletive deleted) off . I believe he was paid ‘ up to date ‘ . Then the wiring was ripped out and done correctly. I thought it was just common sense !

True But ‘labour’ seems insanely expensive anyway - regardless of quality...

It’s like the Wild West . Just cowboys everywhere.
