Day 37 – Guttering

I have spoken to POSH and confirmed we want the guttering replaced with white and it is now on order. POSH are covering the installation costs and we are having to pay for the parts.

Day 29 – Plaster Repaired

After a call to POSH, they aggreed to come out and fix the finish on the plaster. Everything has been filled but it still needs a sand tomorrow. This picture should highlight how much repairing was required.

Day 26 – Plaster

The plaster is done. Should be ready for paint in about 3 days. I don’t know whether POSH are going to sand it or whether we have to first though? (more info)

Once painted we need:

  • Second fit electrics.
  • Plumbing for radiator.
  • Skirting boards.
  • Flooring.

Issues

Although we have been very impressed with the efficiency and quality of the service so far, there are always issues that crop up. I’ve added a page to catalogue all of the outstanding issues here.

Day 20 – Windows

Previously the windows just had temporary panes of glass in to keep the weather out. The correct double glazzed units with integral blinds have been installed this morning.

We noticed today that the two doors have non-matched locking mechanisms. This might be annoying in the long term having to have two keys on every bunch just for these doors.

Day 15 – Window Frames

The window and door frames are in. They currently have temporary glass in until the proper panes arrive. The guttering has also been installed.

We are unconvinced about the black guttering. We were advised to go for black so it blends in with the flat part of the roof but as the rest of the windows and roof are white, as well as our existing windows and guttering, we are unsure this is correct.

New Air Brick

Yesterday a new air brick was installed on the side wall of our living room as the existing air brick would be blocked by the new wall. It is our first area of disappointment as they weren’t very neat in cutting a section from the wallpaper and the black dust has stained our carpet.
