Hi all,

 

Hope I can get some advise regarding a problem we've had with roofers. We are extending our house with two extensions and my husband has done most of the work himself but decided it was better to get a professional in for the roof membrane, battening and tiling.

He found a guy on MyBuilder who said he's done similar work and had photos to show, so after discussing costs, we decided to ask him to do the membrane and battens to suit the tiles we had bought, and to tie in the new roof with the existing one.

He did this, we paid him and then he decided he was too busy to do the rest of the job and suggested we find someone else to complete it.

We did this and they found that the first guy had cocked up the battens and membrane and the roof is not waterproof, and is raining in.

We were quoted £400.00 to make good and they did this but we have never been given a propert receipt for the initial job (only a quick note and bank transfer details) nor the making good.

We need to go after the first guy to recoup the £400.00 but we don't know whether we go official in his personal name or his business name, as I said, we only have a quick note and his bank details?

What would happen if we had to go to court and we'd put it in his personal name and he was adamant it should have been in the company name? Would we have to start again?

Sorry for all the questions, it's been a very long time since I've had to do this.

Thank you

is it a limited company? If so you have to go after the Co, if it is just a proprietorial Co then you name the person, trading as XXX buildres or roofers or whatever. He will be laible regardless.

If you think it is a limited company look up its name on the companieshouse web site.
