Situation:
• As part of renovation, I did complete rewire and new fittings (Completed june 2013).
• In February 2014 I had a spotlights transformer fail. The independent electrician said that was because a cheaper transformer had been used and I would most likely start to see other transformers fail.
• As a result, and because I had experienced other electrical issues I withheld £400. The contractor lodged claim in small claims court.
• Since then I have had 3 other transformers fail.
• On 28 October I went to court. The Judge adjourned giving me 2 weeks as I didn't lodged a witness statement, and judge said she required a Expert Statement.
• When I asked the independent electrician if he would provide a Expert Statement. He got scared. I think is because he was foreign and his qualifications were questionable.
• I didn't pay was because of what he said, other problems I experienced, and as I have seen issues of poor transformers in a newly wired flat I rented.
I need a Expert statement outlining experience/qualifications, and that they have noticed that cheaper transformers despite meeting standards tend to fail more easily than a slightly more expensive version.
Please help.
