Construction Dispute Litigation · Est. 2008
When the build fails,
we make it right.
Specialist counsel for homeowners, landlords and commercial property owners against builders, developers and contractors who deliver defective, delayed or undelivered work.
"They recovered every pound the developer owed us — and held them to account."

The problem
Three out of four building projects end in dispute.
When a contractor walks off site, overcharges, or leaves you with defective work — the cost, stress and disruption fall on you. We exist to shift that burden back.
Defective Workmanship
Cracking walls, leaking roofs, failing damp-proofing, unsafe wiring or plumbing — work that breaches the standards owed to you.
Abandoned Projects
Builders who take deposits, start work, then disappear — leaving you with half-finished structures and contractors refusing to return.
Cost Overruns & Overcharging
Inflated variations, undocumented extras, and 'final accounts' bearing no resemblance to the contract you signed.
Practice areas
Specialist representation, every angle of the dispute.
Defective Workmanship
Substandard building work below the implied standards owed to you.
