I’ve got a few questions that could do with answering about a conservatory which is half built, think I know the answers but just would like somebody to clarify it before the company come back to finish off the work cheers Rich
Not sure what the question is but if you've any issues with the setout or low quality workmanship,just ask the person that sold it to you.
Not much to work with here, are you going to keep us hanging or is it a cunning plan and it’s going to drip fed?
Right I’m thinking they had their first half the money before they started, they’ve got half way taken the balance never to be heard nor seen again. Next theory anyone?
Thank you for the helpfully answers but if anyone knows should sill end caps be fitted before the windows go in and if any of the seals have been removed would that would affect any warranty claims if any need to be claimed, this is a 10 grand job so want it right I’m ready to kick them off site site for good if they are taking the piss.
Cill end caps go on after, pic shown is of a baypole, not sure why ?, if you are on about the inner and outer covers then these also go on after.By way of seals do you mean the seals that draught proof the windows and push up against the glass then if so these really cannot be removed at they are extruded as part of the frame these days. All of the window trade is pretty well closed down at the moment so don't expect to see them for a while, no excuse as to not keeping you informed.
I noticed when they were fitting the windows they removed the plastic seals around the inner part of the bay pole for what ever reason and how can they fit a full cap, these are just a few of my problems wrong handed doors wrong Vellex window, cracked frame cracked glass the list goes on and on cheers Rich
when i used to fit widows ,bays, combi frames there was no rubber seals to the poles or connectors you can fit the end caps after installing but its a better job if fitted before. and the trim thats fitted down the side of the brick work is the wrong way round
The cill end caps can be cut and fitted after, they are only aesthetic, as for removing the paypole cover, sometimes in the colder weather they split when fitting them, so maybe removed to fit a new one ?, they are a pig to remove once fitted and break more often than not on removal. Cannot put my finger on it but that cover in the photo looks wrong, are the doors fitted into one of the angled facets ?. There is no repair for a cracked frame only replacement, broken glass not a problem, wrong handed doors will need to be replaced as no option to rehang, is the roof fitted yet?, guessing a tiled type warm roof, removing frames after roof is fitted is difficult.
Don't think its the wrong way round, looks like a inline joiner bodged onto a baypole cover, cannot put my finger on it but just doesn't look right.
Yea, i know what you mean, but these are cover trims that clip into the ali baypole/joiners, they have a ribbed effect.
Two new frames had been ordered and the glass, the roof is half finished and the doors aren’t on the angle also one of the bay pole weren’t fitted so where is a big gap inbetween the frames! One dickhead who couldn’t fit frames has fucked the job right up
Apologies for my earlier flippant comments, all that looks bad. As apatchy has said get a professional opinion on their work so far. If it were me I would stop the work as it is now you’re already unhappy with what they’ve done.
Only paid a deposit and like I said it was down to the window fitter not knowing what he was doing the company that are doing the job have a very good reputation and did my next door neighbours house which they are happy with, hopefully they are coming back on Wednesday to sort out all the problems but just wanted a bit of a heads up before any more work was done. thanks for the replies Rich
Tbh from the pics i would not be happy either, one good thing the frames are the best quality, i myself only use Rehau profile. They have fitted the warm roof onto the existing conservatory ring beam, for that reason alone i would not let them continue, there is no way you can fix those roof timbers to a ring beam that is not designed for the job. This is what should be done, And this is what they have fixed the roof to, Now how the feck have they fixed the timber rafters into that.
