I think if you post this to uk.legal you'll find it's really THEIR
responsibility to source a replacement, seeing as they took your money
and neglected to tell you for four weeks that they couldn't provide
it...

So they may well be in breach of contract.
Best remedy available will be to get your money back.
I'm sure they wouldn't argue that.

The fact that there are knock-on expenses from the other work that has
been done is 'consequential', and they will probably have no liability
for consequential damages.

Best not pour concrete till you have the shed in your posession.

IMHO, of course.
