Delta and Oaktree CUSTOMER SERVICE - No where near as good as advertised
We bought and paid the asking price of a Delta Oaktree lodge, with wet room and wider doors. We used Sunrise Holiday Homes and visited in Essex to look over a unit. The purchase, delivery was exceptional. We were full of praise for the arrangements, like clockwork, no worries on this score. We initially enquired about the insulation, which is advertised as especially "Winterised" and specifically asked about year round living. But unfortunately there were large gaps in the "extra" insulation underneath. The Shower wet room floor had "bubbles" where the installation was inadequate.
Despite having central heating on all the time, the occupant is elderly lady with dementia, the first sign of frost and we froze up. Understandable as it's a very cold snap. But the central heating broke down in the night and within 1 hour the temp dropped to below 4 or 5 degrees from the minimum 17 degrees we felt safe for the occupier. That showed the lack of heat retention. We reported the "bubbles" in shower floor in June when we received the lodge. We reported the poorly installed insulation too... 2 local flooring companies refused to work on the floor, as I insisted it was done to the original design, not patched up. This was considered rude and in my opinion, they refused because the job was very difficult to do as a repair to the original manufacturing design. At nearly 6 months Sunrise have not been able to help, they keep referring to Delta, surely, they are the supplier, and boast of a special relationship ! So now we have real doubts about their claim that this is suitable for all year round use ! The boiler central heating was a fault code not covered by the warranty [now there's a surprise]. In my opinion, this lodge is advertised way beyond it's capabilities. We just wanted it to do what it says and is it too much to pay £47k and have issues unresolved. Imagine a new car arriving with bubbles on the leather upholstery and poor insulation. TAKE MY ADVISE, IF YOU HAVE THE BUDGET AND THE TIME look elsewhere for higher standard HOUSING SPEC units, not the Delta Oaktree for year round use. See full report on flickr.
HAD 9 MONTHS SINGLE OCCUPANCY AND NOW FOR SALE - As these issues aside it's an alternative to care home at least £1,100 a WEEK !
