Case No.
BETWEEN
Claimant
and
Defendant
PARTICULARS OF CLAIM
- On the 1st December 2002 I entered into a contract for the supply and
installation of a replacement bathroom with the Defendant. The contract price
agreed was £1,650.00 inclusive and 50% or £825.00 was paid immediately.
- On the 10th January 2002 the work commenced with completion scheduled for
approximately the 16th or 17th January 2002.
- On the 15th January 2002 the Defendant advised me that the work was
complete and requested payment of the balance of £825.00. I discharged the
account in full.
- That evening, on using the sink, I noted that that the sink was not
attached to the wall correctly. The sink appeared to be uneven, sloping to one
side.
- On closer inspection of the work I noted several further faults : -
- The bath sealant incorrectly fitted so that when bath filled, large gap
apparent;
- Taps installed incorrectly, causing leakage when turned on;
- Shower tray not securely fixed;
- Shower door sticks on opening/closing;
- Plumbing for toilet incorrect.
- On the 16th January 2002 I contacted the Defendant to advise of the faults.
He advised that he would return to inspect the faults the following day.
- The following day, I remained at home all day to await the Defendants call. He
did not arrive. I tried to telephone him but received no response.
- On the 17th January 2002 I wrote to the Defendant advising him again of the
faults, and requesting that he return to remedy the problems immediately. I
attach a copy of this letter marked ‘ …..’.
- I received no response from the Defendant. I arranged to obtain an estimate
from an independent bathroom fitter for the remedial works. A copy of this
estimate is attached marked ‘…………. ‘
- I wrote again to the Defendant on the 10th February 2002 enclosing a copy of
the estimate and requested that he contact me immediately to arrange the
remedial work. I attach a copy of this letter marked ‘…………..’. I received no
response from the Defendant.
- Accordingly, I arranged for the remedial work to be completed at my own
expense.
- In the circumstances I am claiming damages as follows : -
Cost of remedial works £475.00
I, the Claimant, believe that the facts stated in this claim are true.
