Sharps fitted furniture

I have been let down 3 times now by Sharps Fitted Bedroom furniture to assemble fitted wardrobes. I have lost 3 days as a consequence and am living in squalor due to moving furniture ready for the assembly which should have been over a week ago,
what are my rights here ?
As an elderly person this is causing me a lot of stress.

    Your rights will depend on the contract.  I presume it was to supply and fit?  If so, you might threaten them with cancellation, which would mean them collecting the wardrobes and refunding you.  Give them a deadline.

    Don't overstate the problem.  'Squalor' is surely hyperbole?  And when you say you've lost three days, what exactly have you lost?  As you're elderly, I suspect you are retired?  Stick to the facts, and if you have genuinely incurred cost from the delays, provide evidence for that and include it in your correspondence.
