Ripped off by builder - work to date condemned by buildings control - help what do i do??

[Emotional]

i Agreed to pay a builder in 4 stages

 

he has had 2 of the payments, half the amount agreed but a week ago asked for the 3rd instalment to which I replied he could have it after he had taken the remedial action with the job so far..

 

I have now not seen him and he has not replied to any calls, messages or emails..

 

he hasn’t done half the work and I have this week had building control round who have condemned his work ..

 

not sure what I can do now as he is not communicating with me, is obviously not capable of remedial work and I have not received the value of the goods, service I have paid for .. help

Hi

 

Please be patient I am sure others will be along to assist you.

 

You mention the work was in 4 stages could you clarify that this was written into a contract agreed and signed?

 

Do you know this Contractors details/Company? is so let us know

 

As the Councils Building Control has condemned the work could you clarify you have paperwork from them clarifying this?

 

I assume from what you have said you informed this Contractor of the councils building control inspection and the remedial works needing carried out before progressing the works further exactly when did you inform the contractor? 

 

Exactly what are the Building works you are having carried out?

The work wasn’t in 4 stages, the payments were.  There was a contract/invoice that I was sent that set that out and the third payment was due at the completion of the exterior of the extension (which it is not).
 

The name of the Contractor is Tim Wise and his company is TJW Projects.

 

i have asked the Council to confirm the details of their visit in writing.

 

i had already told Tim that I was not happy with several aspects of the work, he had said he was going to but these were things that I could see like the tiling, plastering, carpentry, not the structure of the building, building control have only just been round a week after I last saw the contractor or any other work done. Luckily I had taken photos which I showed them and along with what they have seen have said it needs taking down.  I had told Tim in an email that they would be coming.

Hi. Is this the people? They say they have a100% rating on My Builder. Their Facebook page says 5/5 but that's only one review.

I think you should give us a bit more detail. 

Give us the chronology of events, values, payments – et cetera.

How much of the work does he claim to have completed?
What do you think is the value of the completed work?
In what way does the quality of the workmanship for short – and what do you think it would cost to address those defects?
