  • Dodgy builder fun.

    So after having the electrics done on the house the electrican/builder sent someone round to do the sign off for the electrical safety certificate. He said it would then turn up in the post a few months later.

    It hasn't arrived.

    He hasn't answered his phone or emails for the last 6 months after promising he'd come back after Christmas to get it sorted and fix some buzzing lights and dimmers that aren't working properly.

    I'm reading horror stories of £5000 fines from the council for non compliance to building regs. Any ideas? Threaten to get in touch with a solicitor unless he gets it sorted pronto?

    In more positive news painting and decorating is mostly done and the place is feeling properly like home. Especially now we've got round to putting up most of our pictures and artwork!

  • It's kind of the principal of the thing. I just want the guy who I've paid to do the job to do the bloody job. Don't think they should be allowed to get away with it. Probably better for my mental health if not my back balance to just get someone else to finish it
