Hi

I wonder if anyone can help me with an expert opinion.

We have had our driveway and pathways block paved in July this year, immediately after on checking and since have seen these blocks to be defective.

There are large stones appearing within the blocks, rust spots (obviously metal elements in there) rough surface and pitted in places. I have several Jpegs to show this.

Afer contstantly telephoning the supplier and getting no where, we got trading standards involved. We now have a representative coming Monday to inspect.

We would like these faulty goods replaced.

Can anyone give us an expert opinion ?

if you have a look back, you'll see i had a similar issue with rust on some monoblock.

The company who made them were very good, and sent 2 new pallets of fresh blocks to my house, and didn't ask for the old ones back !

I have a feeling tony mc does this sort of thing on a paid for basis
you always get a few dodgy blocks in any pack but the installer selects the block and chucks the dodgy ones out
