Unfinished Pergola Installation.
Ordered a Pergola on 9th April and paid in full. Estimated delivery was 25th June, due to part of the order not being available. Paid for a bolt down service, Fitters arrived late on 1st July, then stated that they had never fitted a pergola like this one before, and also stated that they were only allowed 6 hours to do the job and then they would have to leave. After constructing the Pergola, they partially bolted it down and informed my partner that someone would have to come back to complete the job as the base they were fitting it to had a run off. Waited two weeks for a follow up call to re-schedule the work, heard nothing apart from "your order has been delivered". I'm left with a partially bolted down pergola and sliding panels sitting in boxes in my garage. Contacted the company who informed me that the fitters will not be returning to finish the job, since the run off is more than 30mm which apparently is outside of "tolerance".... At no point during the installation did the fitters state that it was not possible to complete the job. We were told that completion would be re-scheduled. If the run off was so much out of tolerance, the fitters should have informed us up front before even building the pergola. As it stands now, we have an unfinished and likely unsafe pergola partially bolted down, one storm and there's a risk that it may blow over and cause damage. Currently pending an update from the company to either receive a full refund and remove the pergola so that I can order from a different retailer, or for them to come and rectify/finish installation and make the pergola safe.
