Hello everyone,

To my surprise, I noticed today that the roofer has already installed or laid out glossy black glazed tiles instead of the agreed matte black glazed tiles.

We are meeting with the roofer tomorrow – he has already admitted it was a delivery error. Now, I’m unsure how to proceed...

We could certainly request a replacement, but I don’t want to put the company at risk of bankruptcy – although it might not be that serious.

The zoning plan allows for both types – the house opposite also has glossy glazed tiles.

However, I have read that neighbors might be able to file complaints. I want to avoid leaving the tiles as they are and then having someone complain in three years because of glare.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi!

In my opinion, there are two options:

a) Have it replaced

b) Obtain written approval for the other brick from the relevant building authority / planning permission office and negotiate with the roofer accordingly

Best regards

If they are allowed in the zoning plan (building permit / planning permission), I see no problem.

If you ordered something different and don’t like what has been installed or there might be other issues, have it replaced! I don’t understand why there is still any debate about this. The roofer made a mistake, so they have to fix it. Or do you want to pay the full price for substandard work?

When did he realize that? Before or after processing? If it was the former: He should be punished with an unpaid internship at the hardware store. Or something like that. So have the items replaced; if you give in, you have to worry that this will continue on your construction site.

Basically, I agree with the previous speaker – but if you can get a corresponding discount, and the builder (and especially their better half ) can live with it – why not? I wouldn’t pass up on it for 100 euros, but with appropriate “compensation” (what do you think would be realistic in this case?).......
