I recently had to have my flat dormer roof quite extensively repaired. The builder who did it left things on the flat roof (not the scaffolding) while he was working on it and by this I mean he would go off for the weekend or evening and leave items up there. Within a couple of days a heavy bag of stones had fallen down onto my Conservatory Roof. He left it there for a couple of days before he came to remove it. I’m surprised it didn’t go through.
A week later he left over the weekend and left more equipment on my flat roof knowing it would be windy. Ultimately, a big roll of roofing felt fell down two storeys and through my Conservatory Roof badly damaging a couple of panels.
He clipped it back in and is saying he will replace it but quite a few panels in that area now have bits falling from them inside the conservatory (almost like moss, mould, bits of window seals maybe?). I haven’t heard from him and he is ignoring my messages. He hasn’t given me the bill either yet and I don’t want to pay anyway until this is sorted. The conservatory roof could do with replacing anyway but was hoping to leave it a couple more years due to cost. Now I feel like I need to do is asap as one new panel isn’t going to make a big difference and it will look different to the rest possibly?
Just to add - he spilt a can of tar down my garden wall from the scaffolding then painted over it in a different colour to the rest of the wall. He also left for the weekend and told me the roof was watertight - rain came through at an alarming rate and I was emptying 2 buckets every 10 minutes causing further plaster damage to my bedroom ceiling.
Aibu to tell him I don’t want him doing anymore work on my house and I will deduct the damage from my bill (which will probably mean I’m paying him next to nothing)? I would rather have someone else repair the damage.
I feel pretty stressed by the whole thing and don’t know what is a fair outcome? Would appreciate opinions please, thanks in advance.
