Hi all,
I'm slowly emerging from a nightmare situation where the contractor of my renovation went bust leaving my house with a lot of problems.
I'm now trying to get the paperwork together for building control. Before the contractor went under, the boiler had been installed and was running, but I was never given a gas safe certificate.
I know the plumber is still in business. I gather from other tradesmen who worked on the job that the contractor didn't pay them towards the end of the job - even though he was claiming additional costs from me.
I don't know if the plumber was paid in full or not. Before I reach out to him, can you help me get a better handle on what situation I'm in? Is the plumber obliged to produce paperwork given that he fitted and turned on the boiler, or can he withold it if he hasn't been paid by the contractor?
