Hi,
I just need some general advice please. I employed a member that had told me that he was Part P and registered to give out Certificates. I believed the Electrician due to the fact that I see him on a regular basis and he looked genuine with a van etc. The job that he did for me was cut short because he believed that what what he quoted me for and what I asked had changed. He created no work order or contract which I became suspicious. I then called a meeting with him and then we resolved the issues and came to a compromise. Further down the line he then became unprofessional and even myself not knowing much about electrics became suspicious because part of the work I asked for him to do he had no idea how to do this.
I called him off the job and never to return, I told him to communicate through Solicitors only. Upon further investigation have been told by his Registered Body that he is Suspended and a Non-Active member. They would not give me any further details but advised me to contact Trading Standards.
Where I need to advice is that it has cost me a lot to put his work right, the quality of his work was not up to regulations. I have photo evidence, full report on his work as well as eye witness accounts that he was the only electrician on the job. I need to know from everyone's experience how I go about recovering my losses as well as reporting him for working unsupervised whist being suspended and notifying his customers?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
