Morning DG,

Hope you & Ali had a good break?

Sorry to send this to you as I know you are only just back today.

 

After speaking to Paul & Colin they are both in agreement that trying to adjust the feet on the kitchen units to accommodate the slop will not be acceptable to her.

As I can no longer take this further she has asked for you e-mail & contact number, I explained that you are away at present & will not be back in to the office until tomorrow.

 

You may want to speak to Paul because he believes that the type of person we are dealing with she could take this further and try to damage Mr Carpet’s reputation.

P & M would need a day to sort + I box tiles & adhesive which would cost around £350.

 

I have attached the original quotation that confirms how we would install the flooring but thereafter it has gone slightly pear shaped to say the least.

It is entirely your call on how we come to a conclusion but she will be expecting a response tomorrow.

 

I am off today as the car is in for the oil leak service but you can call me on my mobile to discuss further

 

Cheers,

John

Dear John,

 

Because there had been a leak under the washing m/c, it became necessary to carry out works of repair to the floor in the kitchen/bathroom. 

 

Because of this leak, when your fitter came to remove the original floor a significant area of damp was revealed.  The fitter removed this and proceeded to lay plywood.  However, this was unsatisfactory in that it gave rise to an unlevel floor of some 2c/ms.  

 

The following day your estimator inspected and agreed that further work needed to be carried out  in order to rectify the unevenness of the floor.  

 

Graham Molnar stated in his e-mail of 14 March that additional plywood and screed was required over the original contract price and extra cost of remedial material could be as much as £300, depending on the quantity of material required.  

 

The fitter returned and carried out further work but the floor remains uneven and is in parts 1 to 1.5 c/ms too low and in others too high.

 

It would appear from your e-mail that there is a lack of agreement as to the facts reported to you by your fitter. 

 

The simple position is that your firm was engaged to repair a floor and carry out remedial work and the whole object of the contract between us has not been achieved.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Christina Lund

Dear Christina,

I have spoken again to my fitter Grant this morning & the additional labour & materials of plywood & screed (that Graham did not charge you for the screed) is for screeding the hearth & building up the floor which was only apparent once the old laminate was uplifted.

When Grant returned to install the flooring he has told me that you had removed the old laminate flooring & fibre board that went beyond the Kitchen units which we had never agreed (see attached quotation dated 4th February)

 

If this had been left as agreed we wouldn’t be in this situation which we are in with the Kitchen floor sloping on one side.

As I have explained in my previous letter if you would like this to be rectified Paul has spoken to a flooring company that would be prepared to uplift the tiles on one side, build this up with layers of flex-screed & return the following day to install the tiles.

 

We would supply you the tiles free of charge but you would need to pay P & M flooring direct which would be between £360 - £400 for 2 visits + materials.

If you would like to proceed with the additional work I will contact them to arrange a suitable time for all parties.

 

Many thanks & regards,

John

Dear John,

 

With reference to your e-mail dated 12th April, my reply is as follows:

 

               The whole object of the work which your firm was to carry out was to replace the kitchen and bathroom floor so as to provide a level surface upon which I could move about without risk of tripping or slipping.  This was to be achieved by means of removing the original flooring and its underlay and replacing with plywood and laying tiles to suit.  On arrival to execute the work it was evident that the quantity of plywood which the fitter had brought was insufficient for the job.  Accordingly you agreed to install additional plywood and lay a screed on top with extra packing as necessary. 

                Because of the additional work involved I agree to pay a sum of £120 for labour and £30 for materials over the contract price.  It is not clear, therefore upon what basis you expect me to pay a yet further sum in order that the contract works be satisfactorily concluded.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Christina Lund

Dear Mrs Lund,

Please find attached my response to your complaint of Moduleo vinyl tile installation on 13th & 14th March 2017 installed by our fitter Grant Meade.     

From our original site visit by my measurer Paul who advised you that we were unable to remove the w/c as this would need to be undertaken prior to installation by plumbers/tradesman, also we would only install the Moduleo flooring just underneath the kitchen plinths.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need to discuss any aspects of my attached letter.

 

Many thanks & regards,

John
