Horrible, horrible discovery this past Sunday morning. Our eco house is still leaking, considerably so.
8th July 2008 is the first time we witnessed rain water coming through our internal walls and ceilings. Almost a year later and our George Wimpey eco house, constructed using materials such as wood and recycled paper, is still being soaked through.
Sunday morning we found water coming through in one of the upstairs bedrooms, cracking and bubbling the paint work, and above our kitchen window, again, in more than one location. One point the water is coming through in the kitchen is the section we previously had our balcony removed to “fix”.
So very distressed and upset about the whole situation.
We’ve been in touch with George Wimpey customer services concerning the leaks, ongoing snagging issues and the window which cracked over the weekend. Following a visit this morning from a despondent and rather non-committal George Wimpey site manager we’re expecting at least one manager from Wood Newton to pay a visit Wednesday morning.
We can’t think of anything they could say or do to put things right, but they should at least witness the water stains, damage to paint and so on first hand. Even if they’re willing to try and fix this seemingly inherent problem they certainly don’t seem able, and we’re so very, very unhappy about it all.
