Thank you.

But isn't there is some confusion here between the first claim in the second claim. This thread is meant to be about the second claim which hasn't been started yet and yet you say that the claim was started on 30 September and that is one which refers to the smaller claim – the rear patio.

If I'm correct about this then I'm sorry to say but I think we need to start a new thread concentrating just on the one remaining action which is the front patio.

In particular, we need to know what the contracted cost was, the deposit paid which I understand is £1577.60 p and the cost remedial works and how that all adds up to the amount that you intend claim for.

Am I right that you have put the two issues together here?

The summary was the events leading up to this claim. The two claims are separate, but the series of events are similar.

 

I put the summary to provide the context.

 

This is the new thread focussing on the second claim (the larger value front driveway), hence the title "(Second Thread- Front Driveway Claim)"

 

I hope that makes sense. I should have written "first claim commenced on 30th September 2021), and now second claim is to be prepared."

 

I can't seem to edit the first post now. If you could help me do that it would be great. I was trying to provide context for this second claim rather than just diving straight into it.
