shutiao06 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2008 Putty is the white cement that is used to cover gaps in between tiles. yup i checked the kitchen wall by knocking at every single tile. I'm fussy when it comes to quality checking, unless my wife say 'close one eye' for some hollow tiles lor. I'm not sure about online submission though. The dried paint on the electrical points, you'll probably have to remove them urself but i personally find them minor cos' it's white. Parquet floor polishing and varnishing I believe have to engage own contractor to do it. My wall on the upper part (no stool cannot reach one) also got dots when i run my hand over but can't see visually. oic.. thanks for the enlightenment hee. hmm then tink reali muz check properly. find flooring rather impt, cos we wont be redoing the floor haa. but heard feedback too tat after hdb changed a few pieces of the tile, the shade of the colour is diff. alamak, like tat oso jia lat. ya i do agree tat some of the parquet has very obvious gaps in between. actually heard from an ID previously tat it all depends on how fussy we r. it's actually our rights to feedback everythin we r not hapi wif to hdb. whether they wana rectify or have some excuses for it it's up to them. but i heard they norm wan the owners to close one eye too, so they purposely take a long time to do the rectification.haiz, but after spending so much on our new home, surely everyone wans it to b in gd condition rite.. as for parquet floor polishing, i heard from the ID tat it's our rites to get them to do it..else if we engage others to do, gota pay for it leh. recalled an ID quoting us $550 for it. wah everythin oso $$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please also check the walls. some of the walls are crooked or gt holesI've not submitted yet because it's really a long list. Fri late noon after work, I checked the parquet skirting and found cracks and gaps. This afternoon, I checked the parquet flooring and found alot of hollow slabs. Probably will submit on Monday before cny. As for the crooked walls, is there anything that HDB can do? Yah I noticed some holes on the walls, they looked like worm holes yeah? The room door also have. Paste masking tape liao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Tinyeyes, these photos were taken after the faulty tiles were removed and that they are waiting to be replaced right? That's a big hole sia. I hope your nightmare will be over soon once they've replaced the tiles. BTW, the replacement tiles are of the same design/color? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shouldnt be the big hole.If its big hole, think they 偷工减料 last time. I haven seen the replacement kitchen tiles and i saw the replacement kitchen wall tiles. Its the same as the original ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven seen the replacement kitchen tiles and i saw the replacement kitchen wall tiles. Its the same as the original onesThanks for the confirmation. I'm worried the replacement tiles will be different due to it being EOL after 6 years. Mine is cracked wall tiles. I'm quite sure almost every unit has hollow tiles/parquet slabs because of the mass production during construction of the blocks. Sure have 偷工减料 here and there.
