Nice! It's always cheering to see what the general public think of we poor tradesmen.......Why would I expect a house "planned" by a bunch of gobshoites driving flash Audis, thrown up by a bunch of numpties who did a 6 week NVQ in bricklaying, and sold by a company who's only concern is making millions for their shareholders, to be well-enough constructed that the profiteers would guarantee it?
Totally agree about the Audi-driving, suit-wearing flash Harries who employ us, though I'm not knocking you and your ilk, FMT, and I am honestly hearing what you are saying. But given that I am just an average punter ("ignorant tool"), how many other people who actually stop and think about it, have similar thoughts to me? People already roundly believe that the surveyor's reports that they pay for are not worth the paper they're written on.
Taking emotion out of it though for a second, in a world where we know so much (ground surveys, historic evidence, better building techniques, etc etc etc), it seems incongruous that a group of specialists will not back their work for more than 10 years. Work that they want to sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds.

I have a lot of respect for time-served tradesmen, JnK. I also see more and more that "time-served" is not worth what it was (especially in the bigger organisations), unless you have "the ticket". A lot of box-ticking exercises nowadays.
My uncle is a 45 yrs-plus time-served plasterer, who was more and more often refused site work "unless he got an NVQ". Without that bit of paper, he was not as "competent" as a newbie, tape-and-jointer. Farcical.
