    does my watertank in the loft need to be covered?

    if you have condensation in your loft then you do not have adequate ventilation. In an ideal situation your loft will be as cold as outside. You may need to install soffit vents or something similar.

The fact that you paid the subby the cash is irrelevant, you...

Your best bet is try to get him to come back and do the work properly.unfortunately you have removed the evidence of substandard work.. did you take...
