Next doors landscaper damaged my property

Anonymous user 01/03/2024 - 2.59 PM

Next doors landscaper damaged my property A piece of a concrete fence post was blown out by the landscaper as he attached trellis to it on my neighbours side. This was back in June, now end of October. He keeps saying he will come back to fix it, but never shows up. Now has got nasty and condescending about it “it’s a post, I said I’ll fix it and that’s what I’ll do. It’s a 50 mile round trip” I no longer trust him to fix it nor to make it look like it was before. What can I do?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You can go to a small claims court, or see if he has insurance and claim on that. If he's happy to pay, you could get someone else to repaire it at his expense.

Initially I would approach your neighbour, they will be able to reach out to the contractor in order to fix the issues caused with work undertaken. If you have trouble going though neighbour/contractor themselves, then you could choose to pursue at a small claims court.

Tell him that the 50 mile trip isn't your problem and that you've been kind enough about the matter and just want this sorted. please give me a time and say when you can come and resolve this issue once again many thanks if he still acts like that after then go down different root but if he's already moaning about coming 50 miles back for it chances are he ain't gonna bother. Just going by what you've said and your well within your rights to say as no builder should not go back and sort there mistake out specially if your buissness is well up there I'd be more worried about getting bad reputation for he's buissness as now days big companies that are well known can easily have it taken away from them if not carefull enough as always someone else that will replace them simple rule specially when others wouldnt do that to you

First you need to talk to your neighbor, maybe he will find a solution with the person who did the damage and then you can follow the legal-court steps to make him pay, regardless if he fixes it himself or someone else . All of us must be responsible for our actions.
