Hmm. I take back my ‘Wowzers!’ and agree that the problem is firmly with the builder and not you. Feet stamping and fuming should occur forthwith and reparations ensue. At any point did you ask for half a wooden staircase? I doubt it.When we had our bathroom refit the builder left saying all was completed. But there was no sealant to be seen anywhere. On questioning this he tried to say it wasn’t included and he’d told me at the start I’d have to find my own person to do this. Let’s just say that my straight talking led to a very nicely finished bathroom.Absolutely fight your corner and when every tread is wooden I shall return with my ‘Wowzers’ and perhaps other congratulatory vocabulary.Good luck and sally forth.0
