There is some confusion here:
- its not criminal damage, trespass etc etc. as said early on.
- there is no liability as "contracting party" unless it relates to Party Wall act or similar
- You have no liability unless you are an Employer of the builder which would be an unusual arrangement.
- He's only entitled to a reasonable repair, not a replacement since that would likely be betterment
- He wont get anywhere if he sues you.
Pass on any information you have and let him get on with it. (though you are under no obligation to do so)
The builders insurance will likely to put him to "strict proof" which will mean he's knackered as he's unlikely to be able to prove anything.
