This picture is typical of the double glazing going up in the council flats. The wall paper is damaged or ignored and no care has been taken with the seal. The screw in this window (why?) is at a different angle and possition to the others. 

To day we will learn how to do the worst possible double glazing job... I can only wonder that the homes these people live in are not falling down! 

Here you can see just how badly made the frame work for the windows is. 

One of many pictures of the bad seal job that has been done arround the windows. 

Here is the view of the school (I dread to think how much swearing the kids hear each day from our cowboy builders) you will notice that vent grill is missing compleatly. 

Yes, this is a screw, yes it is in the window, yes they put them in (badly) just before they put the windows in and no it is not straight. 

What can I say about this fitting work that the picture does not? 

Just put in and already it is discoloured as well as being badly made and fitted. 

worst workers yet.

To who ever will take responsibility for the bad choices made,

Before I start let me say that I am not ungrateful for being housed when I
was in need. I enjoy living in my current neighbourhood and am only half an
hours walk from town. However, there are some things that are not good
enough.

Your latest cowboy-bodgits are worse than usual. Normally council employed
builders are a laughing stock due to poor standards and reliably useless
workmanship. However, your latest lot are so bad as to prompt my visitors
to repeatedly say how bad a job has been done.

To be honest with you I am not personally skilled with practising DIY but I
know that I can do far better than this lot even in a comatose state. My
grandmother would be able to do a better job from her hospital bed!

I have had genuine offers from labourers to come round after your cowboys
have finished and do it properly. Please hire an independent expert and
confirm my claim or I will be forced to request the assistance of an MP to
do so. Rest assured I will ask all tradesman I know to submit public
reports to be published on http://thanetcouncil.blogspot.com/ where a photo
documentary is being compiled. Additionally if I am forced to employ any
qualified persons to file a report for you I will bill the council for the
cost as I expect you to hire workman that can do the job.

There is fibre glass strands blowing about on the path outside the building,
directly opposite a school. I wonder what the school thinks about having
the children listen to the loud and crude language of the so-called-workmen
that we can hear despite the shoddy double glazing that has just been
fitted.

If the only problem were their complete disregard for safety standards I
would not bother writing as sooner or later they will simply kill themselves
but there are children and mothers around that could get hurt.

I invite you to visit 17 to 25 Elham Close and to see for yourself. I know
you will not, but let it be on the (public) record that you were invited.

It really does need to be seen to be believed and you can be sure that after
due time for replies I might make my documentary available in full to the
press.

I formally request you immediately withdraw the current failures from doing
any more damage and hire a company that knows what it is doing.

A little less of the words beginning with C and F would be a bonus
especially for the school but with the councils track record of only hiring
the worst workers we can only hope.

With the current work done to these buildings you would have to pay me to
take ownership of them. Please don't offer the "right to buy" on this
current block in this condition if being laughed at offends.

yours, with no real hope that TDC will ever hire a good worker,

Mr M. Brown
