Hi,
We've just completed on our house and the boiler was knackered, we had someone in to replace the old boiler with a combi, remove the tank etc. They have left pipework out coming up out of the floor where the tank was, running across a foot or so and disappearing back into the floor where the rest of the pipework was under the tank. This is in a cupboard in a bedroom, the cupboard being put up to house the old tank and we have every intention of taking the cupboard down in the near future. We've been on to him to come back and put the pipework below the floorboards, and he says he wants to charge £30 for cleaning fluid and £30 for the work. As far as we are concerned he didn't finish the job he was initially paid to do. Are we being unreasonable, would a tradesman usually leave the floor of the cupboard like that and we expected to much? I personally think it would have been a bind for him to cut the boards and he just bodged the job.
Cheers in advance.
