David Salisbury built an orangery extension to our house and this was completed at the end of 2018. Whilst we are happy with the end product we were surprised and disappointed that several problems occurred following the build. Firstly we had an issue with part of the wood frame on the inside developing dark stains on the oak. We were informed that the wood was pre-treated before delivery so were surprised that this would happen. They came back and applied oxalic acid and these dark stains have now been removed. Secondly we had rainwater leaking through one of the windows as these had not been sealed correctly. Also one window had to be replaced due to faulty double glazing. Thirdly a section of the roof leading was blown off by wind and, at the time this was repaired, it was acknowledged that the section in question had not been secured correctly. It was fortunate that no damage occurred to the glass mansard. Finally the orangery door was not closing properly and it required two visits to fix this properly. Following the completion of the orangery it took several weeks to resolve the above issues to our satisfaction and certainly David Salisbury’s claim that "the quality and finish is the envy of the industry" was not justified in our case.
