Sample Letters: Asking for payment of the costs incurred to rectify defective work
Address
Date
Dear Sir/Madam,
Work done at : Address where work completed
Since you failed to reply to my letter of Date of letter, I had no alternative but to commission Name of new contractor to rectify your defective work. That work is now complete and has cost £ Cost. A copy of the firm's invoice is enclosed for your information.
You will also see that I have enclosed a copy of a report I asked to prepare on the work required, which shows that the work carried out by you was substandard. As this work was not carried out with the required care and skill, I have a claim against you for breach of contract. In these circumstances I am exercising my legal right to expect you to compensate me for the cost of the necessary repairs.
Please deliver payment of £ Cost by Date plus 14 days to my address (see above). If you fail to reimburse me by this date, I will not hesitate in starting County Court proceedings against you without further notice.
Yours faithfully,
