Biting the bullet and pay window firm to reinstall shonky fitted french doors?

wafers

We went and did it. I know a builder who fitted his own upvc French windows and did a tidy looking job of it, with the help of his mate. Knowing said builder is fastidious, I mentioned that I had just bought a set of french doors which needed fitting.
Cut a long story short, him and 'his mate' fitted them, and I'm less than happy with the finished job. His mate ended up doing all the adjustments (not what I wanted) and now the doors are tight to lock, have a gap under them (should there be packers under the frame, or is it ok to 'float'?) and only a couple of short screws holding the top rail into the lintel. Expanding foam used to fill the gap above is an abortion as well.
I called the bloke back, and his mate came and made a few adjustments, but it's still crap.
Before anyone says, I know it's my own fault.
However, I'm in this situation and I need advice.
We are likely to be selling within 5 years and I've also clicked there will be no FENSA certificate.
Do I,
1. Keep on calling him back until it's something like it (no FENSA cert. though).
2. Pay a registered window fitter to remove it all and start again, also gaining me a FENSA certificate at the same time.
3. Sort it myself (I'm handy with DIY and could tidy it up; I'd just prefer not to have to tidy up someone else's mess!) and pay for an indemnity policy to cover the FENSA issue when we sell the place.
Any suggestions (no smart !!!! ones please )
Cheers

You don't have to go down the FENSA route as you can contact your local Council and carry out the work under a "Building notice". Basically you fill out a form, pay them some money and they will pop round when the work is being carried out to make sure the work complies with regs.

If your a competant DIYer as you say you are then personally I would DIY.......... Good luck.

I took your advice and spent about an hour yesterday tweaking the latches to try and make it lock more easily. I'm now coming to the conclusion that the frame isn't actually fitted 100% square in the opening, so professionals it may just have to be
