    OP, I realise that English is not your first language, but if you are going to make a successful civil claim then you need to limit yourself to the facts when you make your claim. The court is not concerned with your marital status or number of kids.
    If you don't have much in the way of documentation then it will be your word against his in court, if he turns up. Trying to recover for consequential loss (cost of the new laminate) will be more difficult than just trying to recover his labour charge of £300.
    And the fact that judgement is awarded in your favour does not mean that he will pay up. If not you may have to resort to bailiffs, which will involve extra costs for you.
    I'm not saying that you shouldn't make a claim, but consider the worst possible result before you do.


    Oh my god! you scared me now,I have pictures and you can see under the doors how much he cut it it is such a big gap and the corners of the rooms are same big gap and around the rooms where he worked in a middle the planks are gaps planks are coming apart,
    I think just by the look you can see that what he did is rubbish!
    thanks but you made me rethink
