It took all of 2yrs to rectify faults including changing the central heating systemfrom gas to oil. the electric boilers to run a wet system were inadequate and were burning out. still redrow took at least 12months to agree that there was a major fault. the insulation is rubbish,doors don't fit properly,windows are not straight and so i could go on & on.certainly redrows brochures do not reflect the truth when the claim there houses are built to a high standard!!!!!!!! regards, Sandie Hi Gary,like you I bought a redrow house in 2007.

Anyway,the day we moved in,all was realed, as bedroom 3 was 3 feet shorter than what was advertised & Redrow were informed of this miss leading advert & since then,we have been to trading standards.We have at least 50 faults in the house,ranging from faulty staircase to having 8 double glazed units replaced,which as a result,has left us with different windows around the house. Our gas boiler was serviced by Scottish Gas,who informed us that the boiler was not up to all standards,covering the flu not sealed & not at correct distance from objects exterior,condensate pipe,no lagging to flow & return pipes.We are now taking our story to the media/national papers,as we feel that we have been miss sold this property & now stuck with this house. Watch this space,as all will be revealed. regards Gary Redpath I would like to add my hell of buying a Redrow house in september 2010, at Middlebank Rise in Dunfermline.We never had the luxury of viewing a show house & were sold the house on the brochure specification & the sales representative’s competency & honesty.

I was told it would take 4-6 weeks, 6 months down the line still not in. Still unhappy with shoddy workmanship. I have had to fight the whole time even the threat of press and watchdog doesnt bother them. It was recommended by an engineer employed by them that it would be prudent to do another geotechnical investigation on our plot to eliminate any further risk. Redrow refuse to do this as they feel the remedial work supercedes the need for it. The fight continues my health is suffering from the sheer stress of dealing with them. The biggest investment of our lives. It took 2 years for them to accept that the foundation was faulty, remedial work carried out.

It took 2 years to bring our property to a BASIC standard having to fight continuously even to the extent of picketing the sales office and handing out details to prospective customers.
