Images of Hardcore complete with old carpet, bricks and concrete, this we were told was MOT type 1 as stated in their Brochure.
This is our experience with Anglian Home Improvements Driveways on their attempt to lay Block Paving.
It all started with a visit from one of their reps, please note the following are extracts from our Chronology that we will be using should we have to go to court.
Straight to the Summary
Page temp unavailable - Update in Progress please call back later.
Images of Hardcore complete with old carpet, bricks and concrete, this we were
told was MOT type 1 as stated in their Brochure.
A hammer stale was used as a shackle to connect the two slings
(Breach of Health and Safety). They lifted pallets using the digger, which is not registered lifting equipment.
CCTV footage shows the digger tipping at an angle, struggling to cope with the load.
Image shows damaged blocks used, image taken from spares left by installers.
1st November 2008 we are still
waiting for the Anglian Home Improvements
Driveway Manager to get back to us regarding damaged
blocks,
driveway not level with edging blocks and cracked edging restraining
block.
5th November Visit to site by Block Paving Manufacturer to assess the blocks used, Anglian rep was not present. From this we found blocks were damaged, and not through the
ageing process used to manufacture the blocks. Damaged blocks should have been used as cutters to fill in the edge of the drive and not used in the main block paving area.
Awaiting Anglian Home Improvements report.
Work was not carried out to the specification in their brochure.
June 28th Contract signed for new Driveway
Survey was carried out on 30.06.08,
which was exactly 21 days from the date of the agreement
Work started 8 weeks later on the 28th of August
3 attempts later at laying a block driveway we are still not satisfied with the
work, on today the 1st of November
this is over 4 months from signing contract.
To say we are disappointed in the workmanship and
materials used is an understatement.
These are our own opinions and readers of this article should draw their own
conclusions about Anglian Home Improvements.
