Apologies for not giving a back story, I didn't deem it necessary as was simply seeking a second opinion on what I thought was dodgy pipework. The issue wasn't him not coming back to rectify it as we've had to be patient with him in the past, the issue was the quality of the workmanship.

Thanks all for your help and advice, we've got a local plumber coming by tonight to give us a quote on fixing this shoddy work!
