David001 Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago A certain building company, which claims to be professional, has left me with a shoddy porch hood. I paid them one third at the end of the first day of work. I have not paid them the remaining two thirds. Please have a look at the worst examples of their work. (There are a total of 32 similarly serious flaws. I have asked another roofer to look at the porch, and a carpenter is soon to look at the woodwork. PLEASE could I have people's opinions as to how to proceed?
Nickfromwales Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago That looks like dogshit. Flashing should be up behind the wood cladding, so that needed cutting back, lifting away, and the lead offered up behind it. Woodwork and ridge tile etc is abysmal. Shocking how anyone can say they can do a job like this for someone, when they clearly have zero clue what to do or how to do. 2/10 at best, more like a 1/10 though. 1

Super_Paulie Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago wow, thats bad. I mean my porch/canopy was shit, but thats another level. That "flashing" is basically a scam, im not sure what advice you need but at the very least that flashing needs sorting out. My builder used offcuts of an old fence (i had stored for burning) in my porch roof and cut the canopy rafters too short so added bits on the end. As its exposed it looks crap and i'll have to box it in with soffit board or something. "Most people make a feature out of the exposed timbers" he said. At that stage i just wanted them gone so i let it go, another job i need to finish. 1
