  • Do I have case to take to court?

    I am at a cross roads with this and need a second opinion please.
    I purchased a conservatory to be supplied & Erected and agreed, at an additional labour cost, for the company to tile the floor. At their request I supplied all the materials except floor levelling compound, that was late 2011.
    In 2014 some tiles came loose, the company came back to relay them and broke 3. Unable to match them they returned some months later and fitted 3 tiles of a different colour, size & thickness. I have told them that the replacements are not acceptable but they will do nothing more.
    I have written to them saying that they damaged the tiles and therefore they should rectify the situation or I require damages, enough to replace all the tiles (£500-£700 +materials) or we will accept a laminate floor laid over the tiles at a cost of £450, even offering to contribute £100 to this in order to resolve the matter.
    They are overdue a reply to my offer letter. Can I take this to County Court claiming damages under The Supply & Services act 2008? and if so what would be my chances of winning?
    Any help or advice would be helpful.
    Thank you in advance

      There is no Supply and Services Act 2008.

      I would not suggest pursuing.

        Did you know in advance that the tiles to be used to replace the damaged items were not matching tiles?

        Under the supply of Goods and Services act 1982 Goods supplied must be as described, of satisfactory quality & fit for purpose, and work must be carried out with reasonable care and skill.
        Now if you weren't aware, and had not agreed to the use of inappropriate tiles you might have a valid claim.
        If you had agreed to the use of non matching tiles IMO your chances of success are slim to vanishing point
