Report
This was a NIHE renovation scheduled to last about 22 days. In reality it took much longer. The workmen did not turn up as scheduled on several occasions. The standard of work in some instances could be described as poor. For example, a load of masonry rubbish and wood left on our bathroom and kitchen floors for several days. The workmen failed to clean up after them. A painter missed a section of wall and had to be recalled back to complete the job. I have difficulty recommending this business for any NIHE projdcts
