To the Builders: The following items must be completed to a satisfactory standard before the project can be signed off. All work should be carried out with due diligence and finished to a professional standard. Any rectifications required after initial completion will not be accepted.

Urgent: Sliding door leaks are a serious defect and are causing flooding. This must be investigated and rectified across all affected sliders as a priority, not only cosmetic follow-up.

Rectify all sliding doors: leaks, operation, glazing and frames

Property-wide; other affected sliders are not shown in photos below
Area: All sliding doors Trade: Builder / glazier / joiner Priority: Critical Photos: 1

The defects below apply to all sliding doors on the property, not only the one photographed. Other locations were not captured on camera but must be surveyed and rectified on the same basis. Water ingress is a serious failure: leaks are causing flooding and must be traced, sealed and weatherproofed so assemblies are weathertight. Adjust tracks, hardware and leaves so each door opens, closes and locks correctly (several are operating incorrectly). Where mosquito-net panes or similar have been added without justification or specification, remove or replace glazing to match the intended design. Remove rust build-up, treat affected metal, and make good slider door frames (including the pool-facing living room / kitchen slider).
