To whom it may concern,

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (as amended)

On 24/08/22 you undertook the following: Laid a new block paved driveway.

The work was done at my home address.

However, the following faults have arisen:

1. The driveway is uneven
2. Not all cracks between the blocks have been filled with sand

The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (as amended) requires all work that is carried out to be done so with reasonable care and skill. It also states that materials used must be of satisfactory quality i.e. free from defects.

In the light of the above faults, I have lost faith in your ability to continue the work or to rectify the matter, and am therefore terminating the contract. I will employ an alternative contractor to complete the job and any monies outstanding to you will be used to pay for this work. Should the repairs cost more, I will look to claim the difference from you.

I look forward to your response on this matter, at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Sam Hoolin
