I've been reading this thread with interest. If the tradesman has taken items (i.e. receipts) that were not his to take (i.e. they're your receipts for materials you purchased, that he did not purchase) then effectively he has stolen from your house. If it were me, I'd report it to the police as it is theft. Those items were not his to take without your prior permission. And get on to a solicitor, this is going to be hard work and very messy.

difficulty with this one is that he has taken all written proof that he has been paid and the job is his

remember in law if your not paid for a job the client cant claim damages they can only withhold payment, as hes already intimated that he will deny all , theres nothing to take him to small claims for

dont try and handle this yourself, he has stolen the reciept and probably the original quote from your home, there is no evidence that he was even there

hes done this before and knows the system

get a solicitor onto this without delay otherwise it could end up as an unholy mess and by the time you do seek advise it will be too late

Looking through some other stuff....

We have 2 receipts...
1 - For the underfloor heating from topps tiles presumably paid on his/one of his teams credit card
2 - A receipt for the halogen lights which are on his trade account!

On top of this he signed for 2 tile deliveries to the house while we were away!

He also dealt with our neighbour when they set the smoke alarm off.

Wondering now as GirlRacerRed said if we should contact the police....

As other people have said material receipts are fine for him to take but the receipt for what we paid should have remained.

make sure the reciept is from a company that is trading

when you say company do you mean ltd

did you employ this co.

do you have a contract with this co.

who are the directors, is one your builder

did you pay any money to this co.

will it still be trading ten minutes after issuing a reciept

this looks iffier by the minute

get proper legal advise asap and you want a reciept from the reciever of the money , no one else

The whole thing sounds like it its getting worse and worse... estimates come in around the £300 mark to fix the majority of the issues.

I imagine its going to cost more than that to get a solicitor involved...

We'll wait and see which company the receipt is issued from when it arrives... in the meantime we'll continue preparing the letter with the list of issues.

There are no sub contractors involved, they work as a trio.
