We really need some advice if anyone can help...
Our extension and renovation project is 90% complete but we heard from our builder's wife last week that he's been taken seriously ill very suddenly - brain haemorrhage - so she's had to close the business. Obviously terrible for him and his family but it does leave us in limbo.
We've managed to contact a few people who worked for him and we're starting to get things moving but we're worried about what happens if something goes wrong and what guarantees we have now.
The builder's wife has given us no indication about anything and, unfortunately we didn't have a contract.... we're kicking ourselves as we bought a JCT contract but never got round to using it, mainly as I was 8 months pregnant when the work started and we had a lot to organise!
If anyone has any advice we'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Jayne
