Great work highlighting this. Having watched so many of your videos it feels like these issues are systemic and even deliberate. You should start calling out the names of these builders in your videos!
Yes, they are deliberate and yes they are systemic
Why can’t u do this? He charges £500 for a day
These companies MUST be named and shamed...
Im just in the middle of a total refurb on a 100 year old terrace and the walls and floors are straighter than any of those new builds, i wouldn't want one as a gift 😅
Confirms why I live in a 400yr old house... I wouldn't have a new build if it was given to me.
It’s funny you took the feedback from your last video where people were complaining that you sounded sleepy because you were doing it live and now you’ve done voiceover and you’re back to your old self 😊
Yeah, the witty voiceover is what makes this channel great.
My house is 140 years old and the craftsmanship is stunning when compared to new builds
Made back when a craftsman was judged by the quality of his work, not the quantity.
'Team of Tuna melts' 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a crane operator and see this poor craftsmanship every week!
I've come across some of these "tradesmen" and their characters match their workmanship.......weak.
They are exactly what these new building sites demand, get the job done as uick as you can and fuck the finish.
Great work showing this circus off to the world 👏👍
Absolutely love the commentary, so funny to listen to you
Glad you enjoy it!
It's what makes an otherwise boring video excellent! Keep it up.
It's all like a physical metaphor for the state of the country. Depressing.
It's so true 🥲
I don't feel nearly as bad about some of my own dodgy DIY watching this!
If it's straight and you can sit on it being a 14 stone bloke, it'll survive most things...
Sums up modern Britain eh
Love this guy so much the way he goes and actually exposes this madness and acts like someone would want these deviations 😂 genius
That door being upside down... I just about held in laughter.
Then I saw the unique 'lock your child in the bathroom from the outside' mechanism and I lost it😆
Anyone else watched that Mr Bates Vs The Post Office? In 20 years time will there be a programme of Snagging Inspector vs Every Shitty New Build, and allllllll the builders and company owners will claim total ignorance of how badly built these houses are?
You can literally get an NVQ for any entry level trade in under a week seen loads of foreign "assessors" hand over the cheat sheet and say just reword it.
Reported it to City&Guilds and couldn't have cared less.
I like the different measuring scales you use - custard creams a favourite :)
I have worked on some of these sites( heating and plumbing engineer.)I am English and qualified to do my work.
Some of the labour are just total chancers,they cant speak English some of them.The agencys they work through
dont care ,just want the money they generate.Even the site supervisors are agency,so when the job goes pear
shaped they just leave before the end and go elsewhere.They dont want quality work ,just get it done quick,
or get sacked.Its all done on price work.How does a person pass the site induction when they cant speak English.
Two "plumbers" from Brazil on one job.Total cowboys didnt have work permits hardly speak English.No qualifications.
Absolute joke.
That tiny heated room is hilarious. I would love to know what the architect thought people would use that for.
It’s like a public toilet
It's so it can be marketed as a 4 bedroom house obviously 😂
It's the study. Gotta have a study to tell your friends about
“They used beaver to cut the pipe” love it 😂
Landscape, please. You asked us a few days ago, and everybody wanted landscape mode.
£380k for these in my area, in a place where there is really not much work for locals but it's on a mainline to London
I bought a 133 year old house that was in far better condition than some of these! Scary how much they don't care when they hand them over will anything be said to the inspector that signed off on these?
I just love ur video. Makes my day.
I bought a new build off Persimmon and inspected the house after receiving the keys, had over 100 problems they had to come back and fix, for example, they had painted over light switches when painting the walls, sockets were not flush with the wall, rusted fasteners in the window rails, radiators were not level, one was actually drooped so much the corner of it was on the pipe running underneath. Eventually I was compensated with 3% equity of the cost of the house due to me saying I would take it to the next level before finally the ombudsman.
This was BEYOND hilarious 🤣
So why, are people accepting this crap, shoddy, bodged finish. The site managers need sacking.
People accept it because housing in in a criminal state of low supply, that only gets worse as time goes on... and migration does not help...
Building firms treat it too much like a business, accepting gov contracts and bidding on them at the lowest price possible, then willing to cut the corners to maximise profit.
There are a bunch of new build near me that are on the market for 240k each. Small boxes, would be surprised if they are still there in 20 years.
Massively inflated demand on housing due to immigration which means there is a severe shortage of housing. Owning a shoddy house is better than not owning a house.
Apocalyptic finish hahahaha. Nice one.
To be 3 custard creams out, is simply criminal.😂
I take it you haven't seen the garden fence that was 2 Plums out of plumb! Reeedickalus!
Great work!
Thanks!
There are some things where I can see carelessness or "someone will fix it later" attitude. But then you have the things like the bathroom lock on the wrong side... like they must have put the lock in that way and not notice... how?
My first house was a new build total pile of poo took years to sort second house was a 1930s well build warm home never moving now
Maybe its a crap house but at least its expensive
Yay! Back to the normal cynical critical narrative. Love it. We were getting worried.
100% amusing entertainment.
these videos make you wonder whether the issues are due to simple error, lack of care or complete and utter incompetence, As a diyer i can safely say that not even i settle for the apocalypse finish and i can without a doubt setup a banister nice and square, keep up the good videos 🙂
Definitely a lack of care AND incompetence.
As a diy'er you care because its your home. If you are paid rubbish, poorly treated, poor trained, have ridiculous time scales etc. and its not your home why care.
Your Massive vocabulary is brilliant!
"4 custard creams out of plum" 😂
How did you do that? Have you been to my house?? You almost listed to the T every issue! 😂
I'm genuinely scared as I plan to buy a new house soon...
Don't. Seriously.
Look for victorian or edwardian. Best houses ever made.
If you still want to buy one after watching these videos your an idiot 😂
It’s a problem with complete lack of supervision and building companies trying to pass houses off to get there money in the bank and let all these problems become snags, which takes months and months to sort out,, IF they ever get sorted out 🥶
What percentage of new builds are like this?
This is 90% of new builds in Colorado
Your units of measurement are class, "4 custard creams out of plumb", hahaha.
It’s because the developers give the trades no time to build it’s all push push push and they don’t give a fuck
(I’m a groundworker ) it’s the same for us , no time to do things right just have to do it FAST
Got to keep the local area managers targets on point 🙄
Times an element of it.
Mixed with the cheapest of cheap selections for the following.
Bricks
Windows
Composite doors
Flooring
Integrated white goods
Radiators
All electrical fixings/fixtures
Boilers
Internal doors
Kitchens
Bathrooms
Tiles
Roof tiles.
Worst thing about new builds
The internal wall from the shell of the house is block not brick
Internal room walls are made of stud and plaster board not brick
Internal walls use dab and board not rendered
And usually a box for a garden.
The lists endless
No Pride in their work .
There’s a small development of six farm building conversions around the corner from me. They’ve been there six years now and are just finishing. The standard of work is incredibly high from what I’ve seen and they’re all sold. I’ve spoken on occasions to the builders who are full time employees of the developer. They have nothing but praise for him, enjoy their work and he’s made a good profit on their work.
So it can be done successfully, even with a more costly conversion project.
Am a joiner and all over trade people I work with all say I wouldn't buy a new build
Problem is they are expected to be built so fast that majority of new builds are built this way
Long time viewer here since pretty much day one. What we all want to know if you can clarify (since youre in the business) what happens after you've noticed this? Like say actionwise? Do they have to respond or fix anything? Not that i would buy one of these new builds i own a older house im just curious. Thanks
4:56 I would be taking one of the doors out immediately. I'm not opening 2 doors to get to the bathroom wtf.
That garage floor looks like someone had tracked over it in a excavator 😂
You deserve your own Tv show or Panarama special 😂😂
You're absolutely right. This is disgraceful. If I didn't know, I could have mistaken this for a sketch on a comedy show, but unfortunately it's real. Unbelievable...!!!
Yours for only £220k+!
More like 400k
@@WreckItRolfe After the mortgage fixed rate ends the average first time buyer has squeezed another kid out and is moving on up the ladder to a four bedder. Industry doesn’t give a fk
And... I want to pay the full asking price with no chance of any discount 😂
The difference between a plain wagonwheel and a jammy wagonwheel is reeeeaaaalllllyyy important.
Are the builders obliged to correct these within say a 12 month period after it was signed off?
it's actually 24 months you have, to report any snags to the builder and they have to fix them. I believe it is from the purchase date, of the new build.
I kinda like the idea of an airlock on the toilet, it might catch on
Someone likes protein supplements?..
Need to start mentioning what site you are covering mate.. so the rest of who can avoid all properties in that plot
Absolutely shocking!
The loose down pipe doesn't even look like it's going into a pipe into the ground so any water will eventually effect the foundations.
name the builders, i wont hold my breath
1:09 That's the second bolt holding the ENTIRE basin up missing. BOTH missing. Those two bolts take the weight. The central column is decorative and putty/caulk isn't meant to bear weight at all.
Same here in Ireland 😂
I do love a big long level.
More... we want more, dammit!
I'm wondering what happens with these homes, if there are many violations in tolerance levels? Are they still being sold and nobody cares? Is this even legal so sign off such houses for market sale?
They are already sold. That's the problem. Most houses are already fully paid for before they are even finished. I believe some countries have schemes where by some of the money is withheld from the builder until it is satisfactory, maybe that's an option that could be looked at.
Like 90% of thisese are going to bought to rent so I really don't care. Appreciate what you do for actual home owners! But while landlords are able to buy and buy and buy, never have a chance of owning a home.
modern standard.. i was a magic man working on homes just like this, its soul destroying work.. they are built from the cheapest possible materials with easy demolition and max profit being the only consideration.. you wont be able to pass these homes down through generations of your family.. its a tragedy like everything else these days..
Well if people keep buying crap, then why not keep on selling crap??
A meadow of weeds.. lmao
Must had same builder I had from South wales
And we make jokes about made in china when sh*t like this is being passed
Made in China, destroyed in UK. 👌
I'm just realising, I'm the the winkle spanner.
I suppose the scariest thing is that this most likely means no one is actually checking anything anymore, at all, and you see the immediate cosmetic stuff, but the plumb etc is obvious a lot of the time and surely there will be a lot of these harbouring even more serious defects that become a problem over the years, particularly with weather events and poor surrounding maintenance etc - how many New Builds for these top 5 volume builders do you think are going to have to be condemed before say a standard 25 year term? 50%?!
When Mr Bean and Frank Spencer start a new building business.
If id of bought ona these then i see this guy and find my build had the same, id be crying.
I have some good images and addresses of some horrific current new builds including solar panels facing North . Interested, or how can I report them??
😢
That was 3 custard creams outta plumb but never the less….how TAF do they get away with that BS. Is there actually a site agent there ?
I think the radiator is actually installed properly. They usually have a small tilt to allow removal of air when they are folled with water. Thats why they have a screw on top side on the "higher" side to allow all air to escape. But the rest scares the sht out of me ;)
Yes but if you look closely this vent screw is lower than the other side of the radiator- so it's slanted the other way :) So it's even worse :)
@@vis1223 aww dang, you are correct! Its actually on the other side then the tilt xD
Some of these faults over the videos would cost 10s of thousands to rectify. Can you do a video if anyone has got the work corrected? Or put link if you already have
1 jammy wagon wheel out of level 😂
And all this could be your's for a mere £250k.
Mine was 550k!
Isn't that, @5:00, what's know as an airlock? Not the first WC that requires one.
Guessing Managers where let loose straight after doing there gold or black cards online 😢
Looks like a Countryside Garden
Could this all change if a sum of money from the purchase price of the house was withheld from the housebuilder on completion?
It would give them more of an incentive to both complete the build to a decent standard and to encourage them to complete any snags without delays.
This would be a great idea but the major home builders have far too much sway with legislation and governance, similar to the railways. The tail wags the dog and they decide the level of quality/service to be provided and they get away with it as the demand is always there. The guy doing the videos doesn't like when I say this but whilst his snagging reports are great, when you take them to the developer, more often than not they tell you to do one and if you don't want to complete on the property then go and back out,.as they know there's loads of others lining up wanting to buy, likely with lower expectations than yours.
@JD-wn3cc Unfortunately, it is too true! Can only hope that one day, people power may make a change, but today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper.
I know a site manager.. know him from the pub.
And those were the GOOD houses.
How am I, a totally non-DIY/Home Improvement guy, supposed to know all of the things to check, site manager sure as shit didn't walk through it with me.
I noticed the back wall to my property is MASSIVELY out of tolerance and has got more of lean that the tower of Pisa.
You're supposed to get an expert snagger like these guys mate
@@Xopher222 Wow, is that actually a job 🤣 So instead of just making a decent product, they're relying on the uneducated to not know about such things. That's so corrupt.
@@Caluma122 Welcome to the constructioin industry, its not just houses, I've worked on commercial projects for the last 25 years upto 70 million in value and this kind of stuff is just par for the course. The contractors view is to see what they can get away with and fix only what gets picked up. All pride in their work is gone for 90+% of trades people, they just want to get in and get out, who would have thought using the cheapest contractors to do everything would lead to this.....
I want a new home, I need a project.😊
Have you insepcted any NHBC certified buildings that are this bad?
The way new builds are managed is only for profit, they don’t care about quality or any of the traders or customers but regular houses are still worth half a million 😱
I can't understand why this is continuing cow boy workmanship and they are getting aware with it wholesale. My daughter bought a Taylor Wimpy new build it was shocking I talked to site manager who basically couldn't give a shit about all the issues. I left a review on trust pilot saying avoid this company like the plague.
It boils me that they throw houses up but no pride in workmanship its a shame we have to accept this as what seems to be standard now.
is that even fixable? especially not level floors, walls etc
If I ever look to buy a new build I know who to call to look it over. I'll then not buy a new build. Absolutely shocking. Tuna melts the lot of them. :)
And people accept this for their £400k..... these builders are either rushed or unskilled, or possibly just dont care?
Price work and the prices aren’t brilliant neither
It’s 100% rushed by the developers, trades have no say in it we are just made to rush it in and move to the next one
4:53... it makes sense that basin and radiator have each been installed in the wrong room, the basin in a separate room for hand washing without disturbing the privacy of the toilet user.
nothing about that makes sense, that's just a house designed by someone's cousin.
That would only make sense if it was a public toilet with multiple cubicles.
This is my thinking, but it's kinda funny to see that kind of setup after the 1920s.
Redikalas!
I don't understand how a new build can look like a diy mess
Sadly I have retired from the building company I used to work for , and it saddens me to see what's wrong with the building trade . No way would that got past me . If we had any complaints it was my cock on the Block .
Mexican wave 😆😆😆
My daughter bought a red row new build. The architraves were about 18 to 20 mm above the floor! The carpet fitter even said he couldn’t fit carpets because of it. When I confronted the site manager he said they are cut off site ! So I said well why would you fit them if they are too short and he just shrugged! In the end they glued in small pieces of architrave ! What a joke 😡😡
If that’s all u can moan about then well done! I will come round your house and I’ll find u 200 snags in 3 hours
