Look here
If they didn't give you written notice that you could cancel the contract in writing within seven days, then you would have no trouble getting your money back. They have committed a punishable offence. You could threaten them with legal action and Trading Standards, but you would keep quiet if you got your money back, or you could just do it anyway.

Looks like it's a standard lead slate turned around to give it the angle to go out horizontally, you'll never get a good seal on it.
Got to be reported to Corgi, although I don't think much will be done about it as a lot of it is a quality issue.

I think it's fair to say that we all agree it's a terrible job, quite possibly below legal standards. How come you paid up after seeing it?
On a slightly different track, it's scary how some installers are registered and tested as legally competent, and one has to wonder what cans of worms are around from the self-proclaimed "competent" (you know who I mean!!!)

Not at all but it seems to me that the OP is going to have to get formal to get any satisfaction on this one.
If he eventually goes down the small claims route then he must show that he has made every effort to enable the original contractor to rectify the work.
The judge would be unimpressed if he doesn't and is likely to chuck the case out. Even worse, if he engages someone to correct the work without giving the contractor this opportunity then he will lose his right to claim.
That's why he needs proper legal advice.
You're right about the legal advice of course, but there's surely ample evidence here that this guy isn't capable of rectifying his work to a reasonable standard.
When it snows (look outside) it could block the air intake up.
Why did you pay him ????
Is that "CARLING" box, In picture 2 empty???
Was he pi55ed ???

I did say a lot of it was a quality issue, not all of it.
This thread should go in Diy Disasters forum! 
Why did you pay for such shoddy work and did you not pull them up at the first sign of bad workmanship
SHOCKING and I would not let this go!
