Hello, I am looking for advice and help with a situation I am having at the minute. I employed a builder to do some work on my garden wall last year. Basically they where to alter my existing boundary wall by making it shorter, attach a brickwork pillar to the end and create two other pillars with the intention of hanging gates on them. I told them where I wanted things to be and how big I would like them. I have attempted to have my gates installed this week and in the process of installing them the freestanding pillar has failed to hold the weight of the gates. I have spoken to both the builders and the gate fitters who are basically blaming each other. The gate fitters have said the builders should have built the pillars with steel and concrete filling and the builders have said they weren't informed to build the pillars like this and the gate fitters should have used gate posts. I did not inform the builders to build the pillars with concrete and steel nor did I inform the gate fitters to use gate posts as I didn't know the brickwork wouldn't be able to take the weight and thought it would look nicer hanging from the brick. Who is to blame for this? Is it the builders fault for not building reinforced brick pillars or the gate fitters for attempting to install them without attaching gate posts? Any advice on where I stand and what steps to take next is greatly appreciated.
