AN EXASPARATED entrepreneur has told how he has been left almost £50,000 out of pocket due to a recurring leak that keeps bringing the roof in on his business.
But the incident was only the beginning of the issues, with John saying that the roof has continued to plague them with problems every year.He exclusively told the Glasgow Times: “It has been a nightmare since day one and it shows no sign of ending. From the minute we moved in, the building hasn’t been properly watertight.
He explained: “Every year around October, or when we have the first big storm, the ceiling comes down in or around the same spot and often causes damage to our equipment. John estimates that repairs and lost takings due to enforced closures have mounted to losses of almost £50,000 since the business launched.He explained: “It has been an expensive carry on, and I just don’t feel the impact to us as a business has been taken seriously.
The last repair involved the installation of a tarpaulin sheet to catch any rainfall and crumbling concrete, which has become saturated due to the continued water ingress. “I could look for another venue for VR Simultors, but I don’t see why we should be forced to move. We have a good going business, we’ve spent all the cash wiring it up and installing the technology and the location is good with parking nearby and links to public transport.
