As mentioned in my other posts, my cylinder installation and all pipework in the loft was not lagged at all (apart from contravening BRegs in various other ways...) The HE who's come and put right the other problems has (graciously?) said it would be a waste of my money to employ him (as a...

Will do, thanks. However, the (independent) builder who came did say that the hole that had been drilled initially was tiny - so something was definitely wrong there...now it seems there's also an inherent fault with the machine itself. Not very impressive for JL...

Our brand new dryer does not work. After a few minutes, it beeps and shows error message E60 on the screen, then stops. We called Cust Services and under warranty so they sent round an engineer who said the hole in the wall was not big enough for the air to exit, so we had someone drill a large...

If only !! I trusted him to do it all for me.... certainly learnt my lesson now!

How much would it have cost to merely move the existing thermostat to a new location say in the hall? (labour and materials)

Agreed - he prob is quibbling over the price, because all his 'plumbers' cost £100 a day....

Yes, paid all invoices to date. I hope it won't need to come to litigation. So far, it would seem my threats have been successful, and he will cover the rectification costs, which was my main intention. The problem is that I threatened that if he won't pay, then I'll report him. So if he...

The problem was that I told the contractor from the start I wanted everything done acc to all relevant BRegs, I trusted him accordingly and only thought to check when things started going wrong with my CH and HW controls. Fine - I'm not saying I specifically need a registered guy for this...

Sorry, but your assumption's wrong. Of my 12 rads only 4 are new. The rest are years old. Property used to be rented to tenants and former owner never put a penny into it...was decrepit when we bought it Er...you've gone clean over my head there Okay, but see below a response to another...

Tony/Agile - just seen your post here - So I'll charge him for it. Thanks!

1. Remember contractor saying they haven't. Besides, I popped in almost every day, never saw them flushing. 2. Quote was to ''replace where necessary'' which I presume to mean mostly new pipework but some old. 3. I received an itemised bill for all extra materials and this was not on it...

1. So how much would a sensible cost be to reposition the existing thermostat? 2. They did not flush; it was not quoted for. What I want to know is, should flushing and inhibitor have been included as standard with the job, and therefore I can claim for them, or are they optional extras, and...

Tony, Would you trust a contractor, who initially has clearly used an unregistered plumber to incorrectly install an unvented cylinder without any qualms, then says 'he'll bring his own registered plumber'?? I spent some time bringing in 3 separate engineers, who I researched myself and am...

Following my post here http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=247526&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= where I discovered (thanks to this great forum, no thanks to my contractor), that he had used illegal unregistered worker/s to fit my unvented cylinder, (also discovered other...

My contractor did not fit them himself. He used a double glazing firm to supply and fit, but as I said, won't say who they were. My contractor has made no mention of LABC involvement. Anyway, the issue for me is the quality of the installation by the fitters, and any insurance backed...

Can anyone identify the North London window firm my contractor used, based on these stickers? I need to contact them urgently but my contractor refuses to give me any contact details. This, I believe, is because he charged me £7.5k for 20 windows, which I agreed to because he said...
