    He was supposedly there from 930am to 330pm Tuesday to Friday for 2 weeks. He originally told me he'd be there until 5-530pm each day which sounded great as I get home at 4-430pm so we could have chatted about progress and plans for the following day but he'd buggered off before I got home. On...

    CAB have advised to pay him and then send a letter by recorded delivery detailing the issues. If I don't pay him, I'd be breaking my contract (even though I've explained the website on the quotes and invoices don't match the website the T&Cs are in) and he could charge extras as detailed in...

    I've asked him who he will be notifying the work to and he says: "We have a QS with Napit as we use a Qs so it's less work or worst case sinario which we have only have had to do once is pay the council £50 but it only costs £2 with are Qs but we do these in bulk but that doesn't effect you."

    He said we could have the cable come in at the back but he would cause a lot of damage to the other side of the wall (which is about 1" thick anyway) or he could have them come up through the floor like that for me to box in at a later day. And he's not listed on...

    Here are the wires going in. He said he could have them go like that or come in at the back through the kitchen but the latter would be a lot messier. So we opted for the former.

    I expected holes, I told him I would patch them up. I didn't expect the sockets moving a foot higher, leaving holes where the old ones were. I also expected the other holes to be cut with "reasonable care and skill" as described in The Consumer Rights Act 2015. An untrained chimp can just knock...

    Should he be listed on the NICEIC website? Searching for his name or company name doesn't wield any results. Searching with his postcode doesn't bring up any of his details either. And he's not listed on the Napit website? I've asked about how he trades. He says he trades under a company name...

    I've spoken to the CAB. They've suggested getting him back (he's coming today) to rectify the electrical work we're not happy with, pay him when it's complete, then write to him regarding the issues about the damage with quotes to rectify it. CAB have referred the T&Cs issue to Trading Standards.

    So he's said he'll come over today at 430pm, move the ceiling lights, hide the conservatory switch cable and move the socket in the conservatory. He says he'll also bring the insurance claim for to fill in for the damage to ceilings, coving and decking. Once that's filled in, he wants the final...

    Ive asked him to put the lights back to their original positions, fix a socket in the conservatory, and hide the light switch wires in there. Once he does that, I'll pay him £880 of the £1380. Then when he puts the claim in and we get confirmation by post or email, I'll pay him the last £500...

    How much is it on average to get the council to inspect a rewire and provide a Certificate? Just in case he withholds it from us. Don't know why that submitted 3 times.

    And he's refusing to give me his insurance details as he puts the claim in. He says I have 7 days to pay up before he starts adding charges but once I do, he'll put that claim in.

    We requested 2 cooker switches putting in as when we get around to putting a new kitchen in, there will he a double oven and an electric hob so it will require 2.

    He's now pointing to his T&Cs on his website which isn't the one on his invoices or what he informed me about to start with. He's pointing out that those T&Cs state he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't do any damage.

    He's finished and invoiced me for the final £1380 which is due now. He says he will send out the certificate once I've paid the balance. He also says he can't leave my power on for too long without a certificate.
