Hi All, I have just had an independant inspector go through my house before PCI. He has noted that my garage door (to back yard) sits out of square in opening. To fix this would involve taking the bricks out and rebricking around the area. To no surprise, the builder is not keen to do this and has s...

Hi everyone, I'm at PCI now. I have an extended laundry bench with tap and power points inside my cabinet under the sink. I was really dissappointed to see no cut out in this cupboard. How am I supposed to connect my front load washing machine without it. I communicated this to my SS but he said PD ...

Hi louise, it sounds like the scratches i can see on my gloss overhead cupboards a result of harsh cleaning by the PD's cleaners. I do not have gloss tiles, so can't comment but I would call PD and voice your concerns sooner rather than later. Maybe you can go visit a tiling place and ask whether th...
