Hello Recently, a tradesperson who specialises in groundwork and foundations, did some work in my back garden to improve drainage. The original quotation was to dig trenches behind my garage and beside the walls to stop water finding its way to my garage. But on the commencement day, he changed his plan, and painted my garage floor with slurry instead. My garage floor had some cement on top of the floor by the door. He removed the cement before he painted it with slurry. My garage floor did not have any discolouration or dark patches before he painted it. I do not know what he has done. After he painted the floor, the floor now has dark patches. Also because he removed the cement on top of the floor, my garage floor is now not level, and has a gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor, and so water and dust can get in. When I asked the tradesperson to come back and fix the problems. He said slurry does not cover discolouration or dark patches, no matter how many layers are put on. Is this true?? What can be done about the dark patches. If he had used more than one colours of slurry, will another layer of slurry hide the old layer of slurry? As to the floor not being level, the tradesperson told me that he is not going to put anything back on. Is it not his responsibility to fix the problem as it was he who failed to foresee the problem after removing the cement on top of the floor. Your prompt advice is greatly appreciated. Kam
