Dot and dab court case

[LM]

Just a point perhaps worth mentioning incase his defence use it against you if you bring it up, BS standards are only a guideline they are not the law. I feel for you however and at the very least this guy needs outed as you've tried to be reasonable with him and he's been an *** about it.

Is all here. He hasn't used "reasonable care and skill", job has failed within 7 years. You've got a watertight case.

Two problems, if he's no assets, it'll be a drip feed ccj like £5 a week forever.
And BS5385 is only a guide, not the law so you might have to pay for a professional inspection and report to win the case.

Yep I realise that even if I win, that's just the start and I've still got to pursue the money, but even at £5 a week forever, I could buy a bottle of wine and drink to his health every week remembering not to get so drunk I drop the glass on my dodgy floor and make another hole. Every cloud...... I'll post how it goes.

The only problem I see is the courts are not experts on tiling. Is there a expert tiler involved.

 

[Qwerty]

Have you approached the TTA for a written assessment on the work?

 

[Perry]

I have been to a court case as a expert witness. And that was against a tiler that was sticking the tiles up with bonding plaster and readymix adhesive. I dont think he would of won without one, a policeman. Not sure if he ever got paid.

 

[Donna Borrill]

Hello all who helped me. So my telephone appointment with the mediator went well. The tiler has agreed to pay back the money I paid him for his work and pay back the money I spent on the tiles. He is coming back to remove the tiles which he laid incorrectly, get rid of them and leave my floor as he found it. So, 6 months later, I'll be back to square one, no tiles and a bare floor, but not out of pocket. I'm very relieved that I don't have to go to court. Thank you so much again Donna

Great news

Donna that is a huge win for you and maybe you don’t think it is, but truly it is. If the world was fair then you’d have been compensated for your troubles also. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be fair. In this durastiction what you’ve just got is a big plus. I’ve seen worse cases end up resulting worse for the victim .
