Job not yet finished
The builder completed part of the work and we paid 60%. He said he had injury how do we proceed? How do we know if true. We still have lot of work left and no kitchen access
Expert Trade Answers
"If the builder has not done 60% of the work then ask for the remaining balance back. If they have given you a date that they will start back up once they’ve recovered then try your best to honour that as some builders will charge more to pick up other people’s work. If you’re worried that they’ve ripped you off then report them to trading standards. Hope this helps"

"Since beginning you should have paid him based on the job he done. In this case ask for the payment overpaid back. After that you can proceed with the other things like scheduling the start date, when he will be back, if he will be back etc.
Wish this helps you.
