Landlord Building Work Destroyed Business - HELP

[loz138]

Good Morning, and for those of you that read this, thank you.

 

I am new to the forum as i am running out of options and routes for advice.

I took on a lease two years ago and on the 15th July with no notice from my landlord, scaffold and boarding was put around my salon. I was told by the builder that it would be two weeks maximum.

We are now on the 11th November and it still continues with updates by me from the builder and still not one word from my landlord.

 

I have lost 80% of my client base and had to get a full time job to tide over my loss of revenue - which has lead the clients that did stay with me to leave because my hours in the salon were not convenient.

 

I have lost approximately 9k in summer revenue and my client base which ultimately IS my business.

 

I have sunk everything i have into the business and it was successful and just starting to really take off. I appreciate that work sometimes needs to be done but can anyone suggest if i have a case to take him to court? For loss of business, inconvenience and loss of revenue? Surely with no notice i have a ground for it .......and in my lease it states a clause of " you are allowed to trade quietly "...i.e no interruptions from your landlord.

 

PLEASE HELP

What does the lease say regarding building and maintenance?
