""the guy visited for 10minutes & gave a diagnosis of what was causing the leak ""
the guy still needs paying ...... he has reduced the bill as recognition that he only did a diagnostic visit
i expect the add on amount of £40 was as per his terms and conditions of trading.. most building type self employed buisnesess only offer credit for 14 days....
LOL I'm in the wrong business. I should be a plumber, not know what I'm doing, and then charge for it.
Balls! Don't pay.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Just decline to pay there invoice on the basis that the work provided was below par. i.e they got it wrong.0 -
As Colincbayley says - decline as the diagnosis was incorrect and no work was carried out (thankfully!). Good luck and don't lose sleep over it - if you took this to an Ombudsman I think you would win anyway. Hopefully they just let it go....0

""The 5 month delay for the bill has nothing to do with it."" i agree with that
However, i have changed my mind as to whether to pay or not after reading the might of MSE opinion ......
DONT PAY HIM !!0 -
