You can be sued for breach of contract.

Re: Materials. Need to read the contract to see what happens with materials.

Give them a 10% refund, they could take action for any extra costs incurred from half-doing the job - i.e. if something had to be knocked down and started again for whatever reason. They would be unlikely to succeed in any action for you being unable to finish a job if you were, for example, injured etc...
