I had a solid wooden floor installed by, effectively, a conman who had no clue what he was doing. As a result, the whole floor lifted and warped. For months he denied responsibility. When faced with the independent expert's report however he admitted that his installation was faulty. He did not admit to faulty workmanship however ! I have lodged a claim for compensation and am due to attend the final court hearing soon.
Does anyone have any experience of what one can claim by way of compensation? I am looking to recoup the cost of the original floor, costs of replastering/redecoration as a result of lifting the skirtings plus court costs. Can I claim for loss of earnings (for court attendance)? How easy is it to force the guilty party to pay up? Any advice most welcome. Thanks.
