Good Morning to everyone, thank you for taking time to read this and I appreciate any advice that can be shared.
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or wrong section.
Three weeks ago we hired a contractor to re-landscape our garden, which would involve removing all current grass/weeds, levelling out the ground and putting down new turf; as well as putting in some new paving.
We have already paid about 80% of the quote and the work that has been carried out is quite little given the time already passed.
I have spoken with the contractor on Monday and he advised that the work will be done by middle of next week, however we have only seen workers here for half a day. He seems to be sub-contracting to get the job done.
I was hoping someone can illuminate me as to what I can do to give him a push. I've done some reading on the internet and it seems that he is legally obliged to finish the job for his original quote.
I've also read that if we cancel our contract with him, then he is liable for the cost of the new contractor finishing the job, but I'm unsure as to how this is enforceable.
If you have any insight then please let me know.
It will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
DK
