I will ask him for EIC, he never mentioned and I didn't know. Cheers

The agreed price was for CU and EICR. He gave invoice full agreed price but doesn't state eicr. Not sure what @ericmark is about. The property is empty with full access to all sockets/switches/fittings inc boilers and gas meters. The bottom lime; I am landlord, called niceic electrician...

I have, I will wait for few days for the eicr or when he starts chasing for payment.

Hi I hired an NICEIC electrician to replace CU and do EICR on a rental property. All communications are documented on whatsapp, price agreed to do CU replace and eicr; texts are clear to include EICR. He came last week to check the works, said he'll do bonding if required and booked for this...

Asking so can use them for small jobs in rented properties.

Hi Has anyone used taskrabbit, is it recommended?

I never do DIY in tenanted properties, I need to hire someone and see what's best, I know either trim or put some angled metal at the back.

I think cooker / worktop is tight fit, seems he didn't cut it straight, he even damaged worktop because wrong/worn blade and no tape. He should have left 2mm gap each side but it's like push fit!

I may angles steel 1.5mm thickness. https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothley-galvanised-steel-angle-1m-x-36mm-x-36mm/880JP?tc=HC9#product_additional_details_container

That's the purpose of the post. Splashback angles won't look good plus it's made of vinyl not heat resistant; has to be metal not sure if I can use timber?

This is an old pic of the kitchen with the gas hob, I don't have a close up but can be guessed the hob was sitting on the worktop, but foolishly he cut the worktop part behind the hob; exactly where salt/pepper pots sit in the photo and that's why we have the gap now.

He did it wrong, the worktop was extending behind the cooker area but he carelessly cut it out without doing his calculations; hence we ended by the gap otherwise would have been perfect. There was gas hob before siting on the worktop before.

Then he shouldn't have taken the job, he's been to the property to quote for the works. He knew what's required.

There is nothing behind cooker. I called him, he came he took it out but couldn't push it back and he left as it is, pathetic. He cut plinth with multitool. I was shocked, he was lazy to get jigsaw from the van!

There is no gas pipe, cookers don't go all the way back to the wall. The work top was one piece and he cut the bit behind the cooker.

Quadrant tiles? Hanging in the air?

Hi I sent a gas engineer to replace a gas cooker at a rental property but made a mess of it, there is gap between wall and cooker as in pics. What part can I put there?

It says on the eggshell but doesn't say on the emulsion, matt or silk so should mean something. It's a trial of another paint, it should do better than the ones have tried in the past, the bottom line is whatever I do will fail if tenants don't provide ventilation and heating between Oct to...

I don't think so, it says resistant to condensation, if gathers condensation on surface then leads to mould, it says mould resistant on the tin, it's similar to bathroom paint and perma white. Better than matt and silk when comes to condensation, matt being the worse. I spoke to Dulux; they...

Hi I just come across the above paint, which says condensation resistant. Has anyone used it, is it recommended??
