ks, the cost to defend himself with a barrister would outstrip the liability from a claim against him very quickly.The Gauge said:

I very much doubt a patio installer has a barrister just waiting to offer them advice.I regularly got threats like this when working on warring neighbours roofs , and the above question always shut them up .

I'm a patio installer and I know a barrister that I have worked for plenty of times over the last 15yrs who is always happy to offer advice. She's a formidable character.My work doesn't fall apart but if I were in this situation I can confidently say that her advice would be to fix it because clearly the work is substandard.
The paving has been laid on a dry or semi dry bed, if laid correctly on a full wet bed the paving will be fine to walk over (gingerly and avoiding percussive knocks) 24hrs after laying, this has not been installed correctly.
Op - how is the paving bed now, has it firmed up at all?

At this stage, I'd just want my money back and get someone else to do it. If forced to do it, you know he'll do the bare minimum job full of resentment and anger. Get the money back.
Hi All, sent a letter stating a course of action which was a refund of XYZ for material and labour. It was signed for but no response so next course of action will be small claims. Happy to pay the fee even if I win ( which I have no doubt I will) and he is unable to pay.
People should not get away with ripping others off. When that is done then I will leave a suitable review on the local media sites.
