  • Gardener not turning up - legal stance?

    Today, 08:02:AM

    Hi everyone,
    4 weeks ago I had a gardener come over to quote for a job, he told me could start the next day (Monday) and be finished by the Saturday. It is now 4 weeks later and we are no where near completion.
    On the 1st week he showed up twice, second week he was there for 30 mins, third week he came twice and now (week 4) didn't turn up yesterday, hasn't turned up today and hasn't responded to my messages.

    He has been paid nearly 50% of the labour costs, and 50% of the work has not been completed.
    On the 1st day he asked for some money to hire some tools..... 4 weeks later those tools have never been used.
    I gave him money to buy some concrete, he bought the wrong ones, took them back and got a receipt to collect the correct ones ….. I don't have my money back nor do I have the correct concrete.

    He doesn't tell me when he is or isn't coming, I am messaging him every single day to find out if he is coming and I am just getting excuse after excuse.

    He has been paid more labour than has been done so I want some of this back, I want the money I sent to hire tools back and I want the money for the concrete back.

    Could anyone advise where I stand on this or recommend any next steps

    Thanks
