They're certainly making up for lost time now.

The tiles on the front and eastern side of the house are fine, some aren't on completely flush, but that I can accept that (for now), but the western side of the house is a different story. There are some broken tiles that have been put up anyway but as you look along the entire western side of the roof you can see specks of orange across practically every tile It looks as though this particular batch they used on this side of the house has been damaged in transport. I'll let the pics do the talking. ~Eastern side of house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ~Close up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ~Broken Tile Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ~Western side of house Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Will definitely be getting CLO and SS onto this! Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 87Oct 24, 2010 10:38 pm That looks terrible Lis Im not sure why they would have carried on doing it knowing that its going to get noticed like straight away. Unreal Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 88Oct 24, 2010 10:49 pm Oh I know thirsty! You'd think it would make sense to wait and NOT put up damaged tiles just to be taken down again and replaced with proper tiles!!! Or are they just hoping that we wouldn't notice - or care... Well, they can think again!!! Apologies, angry venting now over. Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 89Oct 24, 2010 10:55 pm Vent all you like I'd be aswell. Its just unfortunate that it will set you back I hope everything else goes well for you Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 90Oct 25, 2010 9:27 am Jeebies that western side is a mess... one or two chips is understandable but leopard-print tiles is something else altogether. Eastern side looking great though! Nice and straight, no visible chips - just like a display home Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 91Oct 25, 2010 9:34 am I can't understand tradies who keep going in situations like that, they are obviously damaged, why would they keep going?? They wouldn't want to live with it, but expect you to! Hope they get it sorted quick smart for you, and Vundaful is right, the other side looks gorgeous! my new build thread- Ben Trager https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89826 my switch build thread (2011) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36569 Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 92Oct 25, 2010 11:28 am hmm a different pattern of tiles from Bristile ....does not luk familiar tho' hope they sort out quickly Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 93Oct 25, 2010 1:37 pm WTF?????

I asked about mine as there are a few which need to be changed - not a huge amount though - and she replied that a maintenance is done on the roof tiles prior to Practical Completion. At this stage they will come out and replace any badly damaged tiles and touch up any minor chips. How is you site btw? Mine is a pigsty...

Touch up minor chips. I can see the guy that comes to fix it saying... They might as well not put the colour on and spray it on after.

That is what is should happen, but then it will depend on when Bristile feel like turning up. If you remember, we had bad cement staining coming from all of the ridge capping.. big white streaks that were really visible. The Bristile tradie was here on he morning of handover recementing as we didn't want to accept handover with the roof looking like sh't. Lis, I have my fingers firmly crossed that they fix it for you. I sincerely hope there is not a repeat of koolsville's tile drama on your roof! Oceanic with Nautilus upgrades. Handover 8 September 2010 Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 98Oct 25, 2010 10:59 pm Nice pics Lis! Crazy tiles though - must have been an issue with manufacturing or packing. Never mind, they should be fixed at some point.

I don't want to hold up the rest of the build, but like you O2 we won't be accepting keys until that roof is fixed to our satisfaction! Those chips are just far too noticeable against the dark colouring to be left as they are *hurrumph* Re: Lis’ Santorini – DAH - I didn't order spotted roof tile 100Nov 02, 2010 7:25 pm Hi Lis, I think this is becoming a very common problem. A DAH house around the corner from ours had their light-grey coloured roof completely re-done after PCI (and it actually looked like they had moved in) - so I am sure they will fix it, and there are plenty of precedents.
