Frequently asked questions
What can I do if a builder or tradesperson has let me down?
If a supplier has done poor work, left a job unfinished, or charged you more than agreed, you may have grounds to take the matter further. The first step is to understand your rights and what a fair outcome would look like. Brockbanks Solicitors can untangle the situation, explain where you stand, and help you put it right.
What types of supplier disputes does Brockbanks handle?
We help homeowners in disagreements with all kinds of trades, including builders, painters and decorators, electricians, plumbers, gas engineers and gardeners. Whether the problem is workmanship, costs, or a job that was never finished, we’ve dealt with similar disputes before. Brockbanks Solicitors will take the time to understand exactly what’s gone wrong before recommending a way forward.
Will I have to go to court to resolve a dispute with a supplier?
Not necessarily. Many disputes with suppliers can be resolved without court proceedings, through negotiation or other means, which is usually quicker and less stressful for everyone. Where court is the right option, we’ll guide you through it. Brockbanks Solicitors focuses on getting you the right outcome in the most appropriate way.
How do I know if I have a strong case against a supplier?
It depends on what was agreed, what was delivered, and the evidence you have, such as quotes, contracts, photos and correspondence. A solicitor can review the details and give you a realistic view of your position before you commit to anything. Brockbanks Solicitors will be straight with you about your options and the best course of action.
What should I do before contacting a solicitor about a supplier dispute?
It helps to gather anything that shows what was agreed and what happened, like written quotes, invoices, messages and photographs of the work. You don’t need to have everything perfectly in order, though — just bring what you have. Brockbanks Solicitors will work through it with you and advise on the strongest way to proceed.
