Good morning spark heads,
I have an issue that I really need help with asap and I'm looking for someone local to me (Worthing West Sussex) to help but of course I'd like to hear from any of you with your thoughts.
I've recently finished a flat refurbishment. Nothing big with really only a few sockets added a towel rail and the cooker repositioned. My electrician did this for me fitted a new consumer unit, bonded and earthed everything and did a good job too.
So strangely nearly 5 weeks later I'm still chasing for the certificate sign off and he is stalling. Not taking my calls and just texting me so he doesn't have to get involved in a conversation and actually explain anything to me. He still hasn't said why it's taking so long. He told me finally last night that he can't sign off his own work anymore and that he is waiting on someone else. I'll get the cert this or next week or I can have my money back. I've told him to send my money back so I should get that this morning.
Something don't sound right here but aside from what ever issues he is having I have a buyer for this flat who has been waiting for 2 months so I need someone to inspect his work, test it and sign it off as safe. I know it's dodgy ground to sign off someone else's work but surely someone can test and say yes all safe. I'm not looking for the work to be guaranteed.
Can anyone offer any insight as to my best way forward and would anyone local be able to help. Obviously I'm paying but I need to keep my costs down. This is my first refurb so I'm not made of money and I can't have this sale go wrong. I'll use this person going forward as I need a good reliable team around me if I'm going to progress in this refurb business in the Worthing area.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated, many thanks
Stuart
