Now they have removed the kitchen splash back completely... We will be moving in without any form of splash back and it is now going to be like that for about 2 months... Not happy... Dilorenzo say one thing, and then do the complete opposite! Maybe they have got the tiles coming in earlier - seems funny that they did that - did you check with SS as it would have known they were going to do it - because with it being left unfinished may not allow you in - EB were adminant with us that NO outstanding items. Agree very frustrating!!!!

Agree very frustrating!!!! Well, they havent communicated that to us... They were adamant that it will be 10-12 weeks from last week. I emailed him, he said they just did it without his knowledge, and just let him know after the fact. He still says that we will be allowed in as long as powerpoints are protected and the surface in a reasonable state.

Ours are painted monument. Saw the backs of the pipes during a visit with SS asked him about it. He pretty much said the same thing, told him I wanted it painted, next visit down pipes painted perfectly at the back! I think our painted got cardboard and painted the backs cause there was no paint on the bricks! Just got to set the standard and don't accept it! Good luck Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9775Mar 01, 2014 9:32 pm firsttimers2013 Hassanbegg - I encountered the same issue with the pipes. Ours are painted monument.

Or atleast let you know when they've been delivered so you can check them before they go down?? Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 9779Mar 02, 2014 6:10 pm Hi Benblinkau, after our stuff up there were supposed to implement checking every delivery. Sam the tiling SS really tried to tell us ours was just a shade difference - it was a grey tile for god sake and it was supposed to be beige. I think DL have a real issue in Newcastle and while they use the crews they are using they will have problems. They cannot speak english so when trying to communicate with us it was useless and the same with others on this forum and they obviously don't understand checking the order - they receive a copy of your order. Perhaps EB should request the customer check off the order, our SS did not get a copy of our order so he had no idea what is supposed to be done, so our does he check it - all wrong and ours and yours is costing DL heaps so the need to do something - not to say if we had not been anal with checking everything on the way, breaking the fencing all the time, we would have got to this stage without seeing the wrong tile. Your tiles have been done wrong in nearly every area - so frustrating and stressful.
