That just look a total mess. As you are paying them, you should tell them what you want (i.e sockets all on one level in the kitchen, pull cord in a reasonable position etc) before you pay them.

Are they a member of any scheme (NIC, NAPIT, ELECSA, STROMA)?

they have come back and re done the kitchen sockets as all 4 were at least 2 ins out , just got 2 that are only a few cms out now, the plasterer has moved the pulley cord, ive had to pay carpenter extra to sort out the floor boards, they even left my attic hatch open and light on and refused to come back it was freezing cold and took me 5 days to find someone else to help me, from day 1 its been horrendous, im now left with new lounge socket not working, socket in landing a mess as in photo, underfloor heating not connected to control, stain on new kitchen ceiling, and no cert for any of the work, how would I find out if they are a member of any scheme

 

[Plonker 3]

You could ask them, google their company name or phone number. Although they may say yes anyway.

Then simply look on here. If they are a member of one of the schemes then contact the scheme with your concerns.

Did they give you a quotation or estimate on headed paper, with a proper address and landline?

do you think I have good reason to complain, I know nothing about electricians , I just want my cert so I can get my extension signed off

 

[Plonker 3]

Dont complain yet, you have to give them a "reasonable" chance to put things right first.

 

[sparkle333]

no they didn't give me anything on paper only text, my son In law knows them so thought they would be ok, he didn't know if they were any good so not blaming him in anyway

Did they promise you a cert? It could make interesting viewing if your get one. Remember, its not just about a cert - if they are registered you should get a Part P certificate later. Are building control involved? Did you need to have planning permission?

 

[sparkle333]

he sent me a text swearing at me and saying keep rest of money u owe me, get a good quality electrician to finish off and bye, no reply to my last text

 

[sparkle333]

yes the cert was part of the agreed price for all the work, I had building regs , didn't need planning


im having huge prbs typin on here anyone know y that is

Doesn't sound like they will be coming back anytime soon. Have you googled their number to see if a company name comes up? Ask your son in law if he can give you any more info.
