    Thanks for your advice however I get the feeling that unless I take stronger action this guy will never pay. I have now realised he does not run a very professional business. He thinks he is perfectly within his rights to not pay me, he even wanted me to go back and rectify the other guys mistakes and has said it was unprofessional that I didn't.

    What do you mean by "stronger action"? Do you mean taking them to court? That is really all that is open to you as far as I can see.
