We are having problems with our builder Redrow. We moved into our new
home 16 months ago....

Our last remaining problem is our upstairs floor. The floor beams sit
at different levels. This is cause to our unlevel floors and we cannot
lay floor coverings.

Redrow has tried to repair the floors once and promised they would not
bodge it to just within tolerance. Well that is exactly what they did.
Our floors still do not meet the NHBC standards. Apparently the
standards are not actually standards but guidelines. If there is going
to be too much cost involved with fixing things to within standards
then the NHBC does not force the builder to do so.

We have had professionals round to look at the floors and they have
agreed that the floors are unsuitable for coverings and cannot believe
the mess Redrow has left our floors in. It is going to cost us approx
=A33000 to fix the problems by packing the floor boards. That is all our
savings.

It seems to me that you could fix it yourselves for a lot less than that=20
- a LASER level, a drill/power driver, some screws, a load of packing=20
and something to cut it with is all that's required. Plus s load of=20
time and patience, of course.
