Anne Grainger was woken by a loud bang in the very early morning last week to discover that a length of cladding had fallen off her outside wall (shown above) past the French windows and on to the patio – which could have been quite dangerous had it happened during the day.
The house is in Valley Park, a large new development on the edge of Rye and new homes are normally covered by a 10 year warranty covering defects. However many, if not most, of the homes there have cladding, and Rye News is looking into whether there have been other cases – and, if so, how many.

I cannot believe you’re making a news item out of a piece falling off someone’s house, surely this is a simple case of a fault being rectified between the builder, owner and an insurance company.
Agreed Tony
August, the Silly Season for the press, is coming up.

Why is it Silly? It appears there are a few homes there that this has happened to ..could have fallen on someone, or a child that could be in hospital now …and you think that is silly? If it was on you or one of your family would you be that flippant
