Default Fao: Plumbers, bathroom fitters and legal know it alls.

I'm currently dealing with a complete fucktard of a plumber who has made a massive massive mess of my house and i'm not at all happy.

The heating:

1. had a smell of gas where he's fitted the boiler for weeks now, had him in a couple of times and all he does is stick his head in the door say he can't smell it then fucks off.

2. he put 2 radiators in for us, 1 where there wasn't one before and then one in kitchen to replace an old one. both of them don't get hot in the slightest unless i turn the thermostats right up on them as far as they will go.

3. pipework he's fitted under the floor all bangs when the heating is on. i can only presume this is due to not putting the pipes far enough from the floor boards?

4. pipework he's fitted to the radiators is all on the piss!

THE BATHROOM:

1. fitted a bath that's on the piss

2. fitted a shower screen that's on the piss and broke tiles behind it in doing so! came back to replace tiles only to then put the new ones upside down.

3. bored a 2.5" hole in the wall for basin waste and fitted a 1.5" pipe so it's drafty as fuck.

4. sink was damaged so he's took it back but can't/won't give us a date for a new one.

5. fitted shower screen again today and it's still on the piss, can get my hand under 1 end and the other end hits the bath!

6. fitted a towel radiator today, fitted it off centre to where we wanted it and has made a massive hole in the brand new ceiling putting 2x 15mm pipes in.
.................................................. .................................................. .........

so here we are now, i've got half a shit bathroom, central heating i don't trust and a massive hole in a new ceiling.


what can i do? the heating is paid for but he's registered as gas safe so can i go to someone and complain?

how do i stand with refusing to pay him for the bathroom? it's a disaster and is causing so many problems between my wife and i with the stress from it. given him so many chances to put it right but everytime he just makes me look a cunt. i can't help but feel i'd have problems getting someone in to put it right without paying the earth for it.

i'd be very grateful for any help here folks.
