can we ask if the way you have typed is actually the way he has told you,
ie 6J cable , induction boxes, simface, earth guard, REBO .
in that case I may be mistaken but I would assume either you or the spark is of european persuasion,
I didnt pay heed before as I use these phrases or similar myself often.

Dont know what 2 do about payment?

you asked him to do the job, pay the man.

if you dont like his prices, after the job is done is the wrong time.

It would have been better to agree a price in advance but as that didn't happen at least you are entitled to know what you're paying for. As he wants cash I'm guessing no VAT (or tax!) and for that reason his day rate at £376 is pretty steep. I think that this and the price of the rcbos is the only thing you can challenge him on. You need to speak to him though! Did you find out if you'll get installation and part P certificates? This is VITAL. Did you do as I suggested and check out if he was on https://www.competentperson.co.uk?

You could offer to pay him a part of the cost and then get more info on the rest before handing over any more. How did your friend find his work?

Probably because you haven't paid.

Incidentally, might be worth changing the lock on your back door. Just a precaution.
