Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Rogue Carpet Shop.
I had a stair carpet laid on the 14th February by a local Carpet Shop. In the process of doing this, he somehow managed to cut my Alarm System wire. He realized immediately what had occurred, after the alarm went off and informed me that he had "nicked the wire." I contacted my Alarm Company, who informed me the cost would be £83 / hour plus VAT. The Alarm Company found that the wire had been cut in three different places, despite not being concealed. The total cost of the repair was £199.20 and now I cannot contact anyone from the Shop, they are not replying to my messages and are rarely open. I have been in contact with the CAB for advice. I am really annoyed, because I was trying to help local, small businesses this year and this happened. I have not put in the name or address of the Shop, in case it is not allowed on this site.

Update to this thread. The Post Office has not been able to deliver my letter after trying several times and leaving their card. The 14 day period ends on the 7th April, so it looks as if, this will end up at the Small Claims Court.
My Alarm Company has been out another two times, a total of four times, to try and repair the damaged wires. They have now determined that he may have made multiple snips in the wiring and would have to remove all of the carpet to make a definitive assessment. They have suggested replacing the entire cable; an approximate cost to have this done is £400 - £500. I am completely stressed out and will now stick to the larger Companies for any future services required.
I have still not been able to contact the Shop or the person responsible. As a warning / service to other Haringey residents, below is the details of the Carpet Shop.
