Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Nov 08, 2008 1:54 pm Our front door handle has been put on it is one of those pull bar chrome types, Simonds have attached a chrome plate with their symbol on it to the outside! It made me really mad, not sure why they think I want to be reminded of them everytime I walk into my house! I am going to insist a new, unscathed handle be put on, did anyone else experience aniything like this? Am I being ridiculous? The plate is chrome like the handle but when I chose my handle I didn't choose one with a big S attached to it!
Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 3Nov 08, 2008 2:37 pm i know they do this- all of the S homes near us have this on teh front door. i would feel thesame way as you!! it's terrible and they don't even ask you!!
i just got keyrings though!! Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 8Nov 08, 2008 4:04 pm Check if it's on the display. If it is, be nice and ask if you can have one without the branding. If not, be nice and insist.

Next thing every company involved will want their little logo and slogan somewhere on your house. Maybe offer to rent the advertising space to them Do the hard jobs first.

I'd be going to their head office and putting your name on their door handle and see how they like it! Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

You get their advertising either by way of a sticker or by a fitting around the number plate. Don't stand for it!!!! Charge them a fee if they want to include it.

Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 14Nov 09, 2008 12:24 am Hi Sharee,
Yes a family member of mine recently built with S!mond and has the front door with a S plate signiture underneath the door handle. My family member didn't request for it but they just did it without asking. Although they shouldn't do it but it no big deal as it just a little S plate on the door. The ironicle thing is that the house wasn't built to a good standard so it has their name on it. Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 15Nov 09, 2008 7:42 am Have agree, I would not be happy about providing advertising like this.

The plate is chrome like the handle but when I chose my handle I didn't choose one with a big S attached to it! You're not being ridiculous. They gave you something you didn't ask for. I think it's a really tacky idea and wrong of them to enforce their advertising onto you. I wonder how much they spent getting them branded only to have customers tell them to take them off. I can only imagine how excited they got at head office when someone came up with the idea. They need to accept the fact that they built the house, but it is no longer their property, they need to let go. It would also continue to annoy me when visitors ask what the S stands for, because they will. Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 17Nov 09, 2008 2:40 pm frankly i really dont mind the "S"s
they can have it on my roof tiles/toilet bowls/door handles or even a big S on my front door. as long as they pay me advertisement fees annually. Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 18Nov 09, 2008 2:48 pm I don't think you are being ridiculous at all!
How dare they take such a liberty without question Window stickers & number plate surrounds are removable, but that's just rude. I agree with PP's, charge them an advertising fee!

Re: My house has been branded- UPDATE - SHAREE IS ANGRY!!! 20Nov 09, 2008 4:42 pm Yep DH was going to charge them advertising fees. The more I think about this one the more I think it is pretty simple - its coming off, I'm amazed they even try this without asking, especially considering we have made it abundantly clear how we feel about the service they have provided.
