As part of a major refurbishment we had the whole house rewired for electrics and cat6/coax in every room.
It was based on architects plans 4xcat6 in each room all wired back to utility room as central hub.
I got a patch panel for all this to go into the expectation that wiring cables would involve the electrician wiring both ends. Apparently not and he has left them all lose and asking for £500 to wire the patch panel. I have now put some plus on 6 of them to test and found 3 sockets didn't work. On investigation some of the punched cores on the wall face plates had come out and others seemed to have no connection.
Am I being unreasonable to expect him to have wired a patch panel to test every core or every wire?
The only way I can think he does it otherwise would be to put plugs on all cables which if he had then done so seems a bit mean to cut them all off before signing off the work.
