All went according to plan Thanks to OPs

Just because you have retained £700, doesn't mean they have only to spend £700 in correcting it. They need to put it right before you pay them the rest of the money, it doesn't matter that the outstanding work is more than you have retained. It is like most work, you do the work before payment, but in this case they have more of the money than they should have for work done to date.

They may be able to salvage some material to use on other jobs.

Thing is, now I've had it confirmed just what a bad job it is, I have even less reason to want to let them come back and fix it. The decking man that came round yesterday said whoever installed the decking didn't know the first thing about doing it. I suspect the grass people will say the same.

I've read your PM. And no, I don't think you've been unreasonable at all.

If you want to go down the small claims route, I think you have a good case. And I've told you of my recent experience regarding a transaction that took place on FB.

Things to bear in mind before you do.

It will cost you money. There is a sliding scale depending on how much you are claiming. I think you are looking at £105 to lodge a claim online (recommended) or £115 on paper. If you win, you will be awarded this money back. As with anything, there are no guarantees.

It might not be quick. it takes weeks/months for things to work their way through the system. And longer if the person you claim from makes a counter claim which they are entitled to do.

You have to be prepared to see it through to the end. That means removing any personal feelings about personal matters going on and dealing with the business matter that's causing you the problem...as discussed earlier.

The paperwork/online forms look daunting but they aren't. I will help if you need.

You need to sleep on it and make a decision with a clear head. It's been quite a few days for you. All of that ^^^ needs a clear head and as little emotion as possible :rotfl::rotfl:

I will definitely be going ahead if that's what it comes to. Thank you so much for all your advice, you've been great. You are right about the forms, looking scary,I'm had a quick look today!

Sometimes a letter before action works wonders, as well as not putting you at risk of adverse costs.

I sent a formal letter of complaint last night. I changed from what I had been doing, which was a very lengthy descriptive one, to a shorter one bullet pointing everything I wasn't happy with. I also reiterated I was happy for her to send her landscaper round to have a look as she had requested. I asked for a business email address to carry on any further correspondence.

This morning I received a reply simply telling me my timing had been insensitive (I guess given her wife's op tomorrow). I have not and will not reply to that, so will wait to see if she says anything about her landscaper. I've got 2 different grass companies coming round on Monday so will have some idea of the cost of putting that side right.

underperky

I have just realised I have not been paid by carling .....

There was a number to ring them on one of the threads

I have looked on site can't find them

Does some clever person want to point me in the right direction please
