substandard and unsafe works

Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.43 PM

my landscaper has carried out substandard work and my garden is now unsafe. can I claim my costs back? my garden wall and gate were installed incorrectly and now there is movement in the wall because I discovered it has not been tied in properly and the timber post holding my gate is not straight. I was told the wrong bricks were used also. my nearside patio is uneven and the drain beneath my kitchen window has a cracked gully and it is not connected to my main drains. this all means that there is a probable risk that water will be channelled towards my home and cause further water damage and mould. A soak away system was installed under my lawn but have later discovered this was filled in incorrectly only with old crazy paving and soil. The ACCO drains job as I understand is to channel water away from my home into a void under my lawn which was not created. my lawn is now bumpy and sagging with the likelihood of it becoming very muddy and boggy. it has cost me around £7000 and I am unhappy and need advice please of who to approach and how I could possibly get the work rectified to a high standard. I need to get my money back somehow. his work was such poor quality that I do not trust him to come back and rectify his work. I would be very grateful for any advice and help of how to recoup my losses!
