We had the back balcony terrace done with fibreglass roofing on Friday. I asked the contractor to inform my tenant for access. He said he did not need access and would go over the wall. He called me on Friday am and asked if he could use the outside gate and I said yes. He called again at 5.30pm to say he had finished.
My tenants called at 9pm to say he and his girlfriend were in hospital as the fumes from the balcony had caused them to become dizzy and his girlfriends face had also gone numb on one side. They were discharged feeling normal at 11pm. The contractors had actually been let into the room by another tenant to run a power lead. The room smelt really bad. I offered for the tenant to spend the night in my spare room and he has for the last two nights.
His girlfriend is now threatening to sue the contractors for not giving them warning or putting any signs up. Where do I stand? Thanks in advance if you have any advice for me.
