POOR WORKMANSHIP -- COUNCIL

I moved into a local authority propery in 2008 (2 years). When I moved in the kitchen was defective due to the back of the base units off it's mainframe. The cooker (Hazard i?) was to the left of the back door. I believe it was agreed that a new kitchen, after requesting that they look to replace the units; wear and tear and not be able to fix the units. On the start of the project, the kitchen was thrown in and resulted in other disrepair issues such as walls unprepared for tiling, and a wall unit being placed in the corner by which the corner obscured the use of this unit. I subsequently pulled the council off the work due to the poor workmanship and the hazard that the wall unit created -- the council did not pick up on this hazard until recommencement of the build 3rd week of January 2010 -- I have a medical condition to boot!! The council came in recently to finish the build. Damage to my personal possessions has occurred - disrepair issues have arisen; holes either by removing pipes and cutting around electrically trunking. In fact the work has been done so appauling that there the kitchen has not been mentioned that the kitchen hasn't been put in straight, subsequently, the cupboards and drawers do not line up with the next unit, from one unit to the next there is a quarter of an inch difference in the height. Just to mention, the previous build in September 2008 had been left in -- no surveyor's report to check to see if it were okay to build on the last build in 2008?

Can anyone advise me what they see here with the my rights as a tenant, and the success likely in winning this case?

. I am not awaiting to see a solicitor for damages, including also, an expert to come in and diagnosis what problems will arise in the future.
