Common questions

Frequently asked questions

A workmanship issue is where the quality of work is below the expected standard. A dispute arises when there is a disagreement about the work, costs, scope or payment. LateShield can help with both.

We can help you organise the facts, prepare a clear summary of the position and identify the key information needed. Formal legal or adjudication advice should be sought from a qualified professional.

We can help prepare written summaries and correspondence, but nothing is sent without your approval. You remain in control throughout.

LateShield is based in Worcester and provides support UK-wide.
