Landscaper changing mind through project
Anonymous user 22/09/2026 - 1.59 PM
At the start of the project we were given a price of 5k and told no payment needed till after completion 3 days in, landscaper asks for 1.45k to cover materials and then to pay the rest in cash - I send it After the 3rd day he asks for another 1.45k to cover materials. I question as this is the second time he has changed his mind. Is this dodgy or normal practice?

Trading Address

Once a sole trader issues a formal quote or contract to a homeowner, must they legally include a physical trading address on that document.
