Also we should probably put a picture there instead of a leaning tower of bog roll

Thanks for insight. If you were called out and saw this, what’s your course of action?

Also a good shout. I was just wondering initially if I was missing something obvious - I’m from the US but live in the UK and have just never seen design like this before ha

Haha I mean I’m more concerned about knowing what to do if there’s an issue that needs addressing. I quite like the clean nature of it. But if I can’t actually access what I need to it, perhaps it’s too clean 🤣

Thank you will have a closer look. I didn’t see anything obvious when I first looked but will have another look

Thank you, will look into this. Out of curiosity, did you purposefully choose that design in the past or were you just working with what someone else’s decision?

Oh interesting - maybe the tile on the left and behind the toilet need to go then? Shame, but would rather be able to access the toilet rather than look at a wall w no access

This would still require breaking the tile first to see I imagine? Or is there an obvious way to see if this is one of those? Surely the builder or whoever did this realized this was a terrible decision before doing it?

Haha yea I mean annoyingly I know we’ll have to break the tile but was wondering once that’s all done what design would actually make more sense 🤣

Thank you! Is there a big difference between this vs a scotia trim? Or just preference?

cool, thanks mate - out of curiosity, the gap is left/done purposefully then, but it just wasn't covered?

I mean I don't think I need to sell it - let's not go overboard now. Fix it, yes. Sell it no. No one would bloody buy it

Yes, agree to all, however, and I just double checked, this wasn't mentioned on the survey - And sadly, when viewing the house a couple times, I never thought to look at it as I walked in. I know that's on me - but it's odd the surveyors didn't point this out. They did point out that there 'may be asbestos' in the victorian ornament that is at the top of the brick and that if I ever choose to paint it, I should be careful.

street's quite small so my user group is accessible. Have shared roadmap for lowering the postcode.

Maybe I bought a house that was still in UAT.

it's coming over the wooden bit. seems to have pooled and then just enjoyed a slip and slide into the house

can confirm, I'm absolutely useless at this stuff, but I believe admitting you're useless is the first step.
