Welcome to Cyprus Recently (November 2019) purchased a new build top floor apartment in Cyprus. Being Cypriot from the UK, we've already heard stories about the quality and standards of construction and other sectors here, and I think we've got off fairly lightly, but we've had loads of issues to get to this stage, and a snagging list of about six pages. There's just no quality control, responsibility or care. Basically they'd rather fit or install something knowing it's broken, cracked or damaged rather than take the 10 seconds to make a phone call. Then there's the furniture and white goods installation people who come around and without fail if they aren't dropping a £700 extractor fan and smashing it everywhere, they are putting widescreen TV's on the wall bracket wonky or damaging everything whilst they work.
Anyway, this is concerning me. Noticed it the other day whilst cleaning, didn't seem to pick it up during snagging, and think it was installed like this rather than it happening over-time. We've had a reply from the sales/snagging department of the developers which I'll leave for now and once I get some opinions, I'll tell you what they said. We are still well within our one year guarantee/snagging period.
This is a steel pergola installed on our rooftop. One side has two beams/poles which go into the floor tiles and the concrete roof floor, and the other side it is bolted into the wall which I believe is made out of hollow bricks as are all the walls here and finished with cement/plaster (I think).
What do you think? Is this safe? Is this good workmanship? Would you be happy with it? Underneath is a seating area, and under the roof-garden is our apartment/veranda.
