Wonder if you can influence someone on here to build their house with walk on glass in the 'perfect' size. Failing that there's always fleabay, gumtree, fakebook etc I guess .....

No ; I won’t go for it . The fact that some on here think the drawings are fine and some not does prove the point of ambiguity. Ive asked them to reconsider and not simply profit again but st a reduced rate . Failing a suitable response CCJ will be started .let a judge decide .

Failing a suitable response CCJ will be started .let a judge decide . Worth a shot I reckon if you can wait a bit for the judgment to be decided, and sounds like the company will profit from you twice with their current 'offer'. There must be about a 50% mark up on the cost price surely, maybe more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be about a 50% mark up on the cost price surely, maybe more? That’s what I assume . Seems a bit greedy to try and profit twice given the situation. Ive been to court a few times for CCJ’s and tenant arrears - this one is somewhat different so should be interesting.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah! Bathroom will be done. Hopefully nice enough that going in there will be an escape / cathartic experience. I'd like to tackle the lounge / diner knock through next but reckon it'll have to be the dormer and roof that gets sorted. All the temporary repairs have failed. When and only when the roof is done can I tackle the UPSTAIRS bathroom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Looking back through emails to the company I did change a dimension by 10mm . My wording was “ please find new measurements for the openings “ Now that does tell them ‘openings’ not unit size . Indeed all online walk on glass suppliers I can find ask for the opening size ...... What do we think ?? Edited April 28, 2018 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were knobs not to double check everything with you personally, especially as they are supposed to be the experts and customers will have a massive range of knowledge from none to expert. Plus everyone will use different language to describe things if it's not totally clear. Ultimately however it will come down to what the judge thinks so make sure you have a well worded claim and a compelling argument. You don't buy a pair of trousers with a leg measurement from waist to floor for example, the leg measurement is clearly noted as 'inside leg' leaving little room for misinterpretation. Maybe you could open an enquiry with another supplier with 'my openings are XX, can you please provide a quote' and see what you get back from a different supplier? Might strengthen your case if they interpret your words as you expect them to, and good to be able to cite that example in your claim if it proves to be the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already asked another supplier . Ive also asked the ‘current’ manufacturer for new drawings based on the correct measurements. Be interesting too see if the latest drawings show the frames or not .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Cunning as I am I asked the supplier for new drawings for the correctly sized glass ? My logic was it will either be ‘ambiguous ‘ as before or they will add critical detail ? I can now play this multiple ways . I think they’ve hung themselves ; as they have effectively admitted unintentionally that the extra detail was required .... Straight for the jugular? . Full refund or CCJ ..... rooflight 3 & 4.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhome Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I would tell them that you will either accept a full refund and will order the new sizes from them, or you will be progressing a small claim. Do they not accept credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh! so a deposit of say £100 on cc would still cover me for the rest of payment via bank transfer ???? Hate the current company to be honest - as they never respond to my suggestions too meet half way but more than happy for another quote . Bastards ! My bait worked , so I will play for a bit before reeling in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhome Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I think in theory if you pay any amount on a credit card (not via PayPal) you would be covered for the full amount but I would want to pay £100 or more to make absolutely sure personally. https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/section75-protect-your-purchases#deposit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
