Pretoria-based ”Project Masters” are master of none, especially waterproofing. This contractor will charge you an arm and a leg, yet proven experts in the field will charge less and do a far better job! Beware of contractors recommended by estate agents and rather obtain reviews from actual clients who can vouch for the quality and lasting impact of work done!
Midstream or Downstream? Midstream Estate, more specifically Retire at Midstream. You decide to purchase a new home in Midstream from the developer (Bondev Pty Ltd). Snag lists are drawn up and, after several months, most of the issues are addressed. Marketed as “luxurious”, is a unit “upmarket” without a ceiling in the garage, damp below the windows and massively cracked exterior walls allover? Then, within a few months, you make the following horrible discoveries: Damp forms on both bathrooms’ ceilings and walls…you find out that the pa****t walls were never waterproofed. You submit emails and photos…nothing happens. You discover a termite infestation consuming the interior skirtings…The exterior areas (garden and communal lawns) were not treated and now its your problem. After several months you receive your electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) and discover, to your absolute shock, that it had expired two years before you purchased the unit! WHAT NEXT AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
On 24 May 2021, Gigi's Furniture Removal "Specialists" moved my furniture from one estate in Centurion to another, some 15 km away. I specifically requested packing and insurance. The latter was never arranged. To my dismay, the following had occurred. 1. The teapot lid of my best dinner service was dropped and shattered; 2. The dressing table chair was damaged; 3. The Russell Hobbs coffeemaker was packed without bubble wrap, resulting in a broken glass jug, which, as became clear, cannot be replaced; 4. And, worst of all, my brand new, unopened Phillips Airfryer disappeared without a trace (Now valued at R6000-00).
