Where doI stand?....
Almost 6weeks ago I got a new combi boiler upgraded from an old gravity fed system.
Theinstaller quoted me a price of **** for the job. Said he would prefer to do thewhole job in 1 day. He came out and worked through completing most of the job butdid not complete the pipework running up from my kitchen to the loft. Said hewould come back and complete it. So I said fine and I said I would pay him thetotal in cash anyway. That I did. So he leftwith is cas and said he would come back tocomplete the work.
Now,within 2 weeks of this we had a pipe leak in our bathroom due to what we believewas the pressure from the new boiler. So it got so bad I had to call out aplumber to have it repaired as the water was seeping through the floor boardsand has since left water marks on the ceiling.
Then ourshower box started to leak (I have posted about this in the shower/bathroom subforum). I informed him and still no reply. I also asked him when he wouldcomplete the job.
He hasnow replied (bu no meniono the shoe box leak!) and his response is, yes he can complete the pipe workbut he will have to charge me *** plus VAT. I feel really ripped off as hequoted for the entire job and cunningly said he would come back and yet hascreated a second job for himself.
I don’tknow what to do.
The factis he should have completed it on the day (he preferred to do it in one day asopposed to over 2 days) and I agreedthat he could come back and complete it but silly me paying him for the jobbefore it was completed fully.
He saidHE HAS TO CHARGE ME for labour, waste disposal and work on the pipes.
Ivealready paid for another plumber to repair the leaking pipe. I still have aleaking shower box and now I am being charged an extra amount for him to completehis work when he should have completed it 6 weeks ago.
Anyadvice, thank you
