Contact your local trading standards. CORGI are toothless when it comes to anything other than dealing with unregistered traders. Wrong given they should be protecting the public from all dangerous installations.
Trading standards have the power to strip traders of their right to operate and can imprison then for infringing a court order.
Look at your contract and consider the small claims court. Don't pay the last instalment.

My rule of thumb is "would I do it like that in my own house". In your case it is a definite NO!!!
A complete bodged job that the installer should be ashamed of: It looks carp and is Dangerous... what I would call an RAF job....
Rough As F***.

Think Isiah put those pipes in...one eye's 'igher than the other 
Terrible job all round, and as has been mentioned already I suspect that the notching of the joists in the loft has contravened building regs as well, they're going to need re-strengthening (technically they should be removed and replaced but that'll mean pulling your ceilings down...

I recommend you join the Which? legal service (google it, it costs about 30 quid a year) I've found it very helpful in the past, as it gives you unlimited access to their lawyers over the phone and they have plenty of experience with this sort of thing and will be able to advise you as to the most effective course of action.
Good luck

Corgi cannot do anything about the abortion of what resembles pipework. Ás it has notthing to do with gas safety
You will have to take legal advice on that
But the flue as has been mentioned is another kettle of fish some manufacturers allow a standard flue to exit in this way others stipulate a proper roof terminal. but even if it is allowed it has to meet a minimum dimension of 300mm from the terminal to the nearest point of the roof directly below it. Which yours clearly doesnt so this is corgi terrirtory so give them a call asap as it could cause problems

how many quotes did you get?
how many people said "these guys are good"
did you go for cheapest?
the installers were obviously there for a few days, and you had time to look at their work while they were not there? if so, why'd you not comment then?
were the installers a bodger looking set?
its a poor install to say the least, but if you didn't do your homework before hand, there is little point screaming once the horse is bolted.
