When purchasing materials for construction, buying directly from a store places the responsibility for faulty items on the store. However, if an item is the wrong size, it may be classified as a 'change of mind' by the store. Engaging a builder creates a service contract, making the builder liable for installations. Also, obtaining written quotes from both the builder and alternative suppliers ensures informed purchasing decisions. Mistakenly subscribing to a streaming service multiple times can lead to entitlement for a refund of the duplicate subscription.
If you buy the materials yourself, your contract is with the store. If the materials are faulty, you have a right to a refund, a replacement or a repair directly from the store.
When you engage a builder, you enter a contract for the supply of services. If your builder installs the fixtures and fittings as part of this contract, he's responsible for providing a replacement or a repair if anything goes wrong due to poor installation.
Get written quotes for the materials both from the builder and any other suppliers so you can make an informed choice on what to buy.
I mistakenly paid for a streaming service twice over five months; I thought I'd signed up for a membership of €5.99, but it looks like I was paying the service €12 a month for the previous five months.
