I'm probably too late, but...

My brother-in-law used to be with Everest and, because I'm family, I was given a big discount on a new block paved driveway, which basically matched the price a local contractor gave me.

It was installed in August 2007 and I received a letter from them confirming the installation was complete and wanted to confirm I was satisfied with the job. I wasn't, so sent photographs and a covering letter identifying the issues.

They did come out from time to time - usually when I wasn't there - but the drive is now beginning to subside and 'drift' as it was laid on a slight slope, but they don't really give a toss, and I didn't really want to compromise my brother-in-law. The contractor (it wasn't an Everest installer) did 'hum' and 'ha' a lot, but didn't really do anything. He was actually quite agressive, too!

However, he's now been made redundant and, as the warranty expires on the 1st August 2017, I was wondering if I should now push Everest and insist they resolve the problems with it?

Thanks

If the warranty still has three years left get it sorted

so you didn't really get a big discount, you were just being overcharged in the first place !!

which basically matched the price a local contractor gave me.

there is a moral there !!

They're coming back to fix it! Result :-)

They say they're coming back. Let us know when it's done right.

Everyone at Everestis self employed. I was a Rep and we were all self employed and the fitters work exactly the same as self employed contractors. But still if you've got a warranty get them back.

:T:T

It's a tale that gets told over and over again, 10k for the job, but because you are you and you live here, (we are working in the area sir?), it will cost only 5 k

Truth told it's a 3.5k job
