Sue his backside. For a £100 bodged decorating job I might have been tempted to simply not pay and call it quits but this is on a whole new level.

If nothing else, messing up a boiler that badly could have been VERY dangerous. He is obviously unfit to do the job.

Yes messing up a boiler is VERY dangerous but the evidence thus far that this muppet of a decorator was actually responsible is extraordinarily slim.

Suggesting to sue based on such evidence suggests you have little idea what you are on about IMHO. Given that the OP has suggested that her financial situation is not optimal how is she going to afford to do that off her own bat? No I'm not defending the muppet but if the OP goes off at half c o c k she could be very seriously disappointed.

£100 for three days 'work' what were you expecting for that kind of money?

I feel for you, money is obviously tight, you could have payed some one a lot more for an equally poor job, but much more often than not, you'll get a proper job done by paying the going rate.

The old adage springs to mind here, 'you pay peanuts you get monkeys!'
