    I noticed on the way into Glenherron (phase 1) houses there are 5 or 6 houses with the stone cladding removed as well as windows removed and boarded up. Looks like some heafty repair works.

    Any idea what's going on.

    Cheers.

    Supposedly there’s major issues with water penetration into the interior of the house’s and issues with the air tightness.

    Can you provide more information on this?

    How would you test the Air Tightness?

    Know anyone who experienced these things and could shed some more light please?

    The cladding has been falling off some of the houses and is being replaced. Nothing to do with water penetration or air-tightness.

    You’re better off speaking with a foreman onsite for more info

    That sounds like a bit of a cover up

    The foreman will give you zero information unless you are in one of the affected houses or at the very least living in Glenheron.

    correct. cladding falling off. this was prepared off site and brought in, not done 1 by 1 when building houses.

    no reports of water leakage or air tightness. would not be affected by cladding.

    It appears Cairn are replacing the cladding on many of the new homes here, with a replacement product. To be announced in the coming weeks.

    Assume its going to cost them a lot, fair play to them for making sure people dont have issues in a few years down the line I guess...

    Anyone living in Glenheron with a north facing back garden? If so, did you get any sun in the garden in the Summer months?

    Issues with water penetration or air tightness are not true.

    Planning was granted for the new phase, Glenheron C. We were going to buy one of the houses in the remaining phase but may hold off now. Any inside info on when the next phase may go on sale?

    hi all,
    goin to view a type Q later this week. We had a drive through Glenheron at the wkend and really liked it, particularly the area near the playground.
    Any more feedback on how people are finding it there?
    I see type O and N houeses opposite and behind but they aren't in the brochure- why is that?

    Living here a few months. Fantastic area, can’t fault it. House types N and O are social housing. Best of luck.
