Have had extension and work in my house. Our contract states we are not to pay final payment until work is complete and certificates are issued. However builder has been pestering us for it now even though they still have other bits to do. He keeps saying this job has cost him so much and they've made hardly any profit on it. We've already had to pay about £17K over the original budget (£100K) for unforeseen stuff. He has now dropped the bombshell that he won't do the patio which was in the original quote (costing about. £3K) as they did another job as an exchange for that?! This was never discussed! (Any other variations in the quote have been emailed to us and we've agreed them) AIBU to withhold the final payment until he has done the work? I don't want the stress of him threatening court action but I really feel like he's in the wrong with this. Please advise how to handle it!
