Hi 

I will try to keep this brief.  Anyone who had made to measure blinds that fitted their windows prior to the current works being carried will undoubtedly - like me - find that they will not fit their windows following the alterations carried out by Keepmoat during the current works. 

After finally having the sticky back plastic removed from my windows last week and finally being able to slide open the windows over a lovely, sunny weekend and see the outside world again, I decided to unwrap my blinds after a year in hibernation (the blinds, that is).  Like most people, I had two blinds per window.  I set them out on the window ledge only to find that the rigid 'holders' at the top (the part that fixes to the ceiling) would not sit side by side in a line; they overlapped.

I double checked I had picked up the right blinds for the window, which I had, but couldn't understand why they wouldn't align.  It took me a few minutes to realise that the vertical panels either side of the windows that run from the window ledge to the ceiling have been reconfigured differently.    This has resulted in the width between the panels being reduced (on my windows) by some 7cm/3ins. 

Anyone drawing up the Schedule of Specifications/Works would have known this from the outset but have chosen not to inform the people it would affect.  So just a forewarning for those who have not discovered this already.  Approaching Keepmoat office ended in my being asked to put it in writing to the Corporation of London.  I wasn't given a contact name and, to be honest, I didn't wait to ask.

'Nuff said at the moment.
