Driveways & Paving

Areas of existing 5 year old block paving sunk, and pooling water

I had my driveway block paved about 6 years ago and originally paid for the whole drive to be block paved but changed my mind at the last minute and had about 16m2 reduced but foolishly didn't get any money back. I am now looking to extend the driveway by about 8m2, but the new pavers are finding several faults, dips, highs, and areas of pooling water, including areas where the drive has sunk due next to the pavement due to not being concreated or a being edged properly. My question is do I have any comeback 5 years later in that area of the paving is sinking and has not been laid properly the drainage is high and not bedded correctly or is it my fault for using a cheap company?? Feel that I have been taken to the cleaners as I have now been quoted £2500-£3000 to correct do I have any legal options? The company is still trading and on another website has lots of evidence of happy customers, and back by insurance but again when i checked the first time found some of these to be bogus.
