Short answer
Faulty installation enquiries should identify the trader, contract or quote, installation date, defect history, photographs, expert or contractor comments, repair offers, payment route and complaint replies. Legal4U cannot decide whether work was carried out with reasonable care and skill or whether a remedy is owed.
