Quality of garage door fitting?
Hi, a local firm recently came and fitted me an electric roller door
on my garage. It's set further back than the original and where this has exposed concrete block work in the door opening, timber boards have been used to cover. I noticed that the boards were plain untreated timber as they were being put in. Then they were masticed at the edges and the exposed face was painted with woodstain. They are external to the door. I know this is poor workmanship but is it actually against some kind of regulations for a commercial firm to use these practices? I'm already in dispute with the company for their attempting to get away with powering the door by means of an extension lead, trailed from the opposite corner of the garage. There is a consumer unit servicing the house right next to the door, which was ignored. This is a 2,000 quid job, or just under. I phoned the firm up and told them if I'd wanted a d-i-y job I'd've bought the door from eBay for 700 quid and fitted it myself. The only thing that stopped me doing this was because it was an insurance job. -- Regards, Dick Treen |
