Agreed especially when it gives everyone elses a bad name.

I think the suggestion that OP "knows better than any tradesman" is what got his back up and he wasn't the only one if you read the thread. Not justifying the remark but saying it was understandable at the time. OP has modified the post which offended as it wasn't vactually what she meant but I quoted it in one of mine.

None of us are in a position to judge whether he is illiterate, incompetant or untrustworthy. The job wasn't done right - yes. The job was done through the builder - yes. The builder is therefore 100% responsible - yes. OP has implicit trust in the builder which means it has to be the plumber. and for the builder its totally convenient to blame the plumber he recommended for it going wrong. Not necessarily so (even for the OP who is taking builders word for it) and nobody knows to be certain so any gum flapping from bystanders here is a waste of energy.

We only have the OPs version, In the interests of balance we do not have the builders version nor do we have the plumbers version. The only fact we can establish are that the resultant installation is a !!!!-up.

Of course.

Is not very objective as you have written it. But if we are resorting to generalisations then there are more cowboy customers than there are cowboy tradesmen.

You are correct.

Cheers

I agree with the above so there is no point in repeating it.

drummer, i know you don't want to hear it but you are being far too trusting of this builder, no one does anything for nothing, running any business is about making a profit he is not going to wear the cost of this boiler c0ck up someone is going to have to pay, now wether that is you or the plumber i don't know but it isn't the builder that is going to suffer, i hope for your sake that you have sat down with him & agreed on paper what the extras are (it needs to be on his headed paper not just verbal), because & i'm not the only one i can see you heading for a massive extra's bill at the end & we really don't want that to happen to you, you need to get stuff in writing.

Please note that there is no "trade bashing" agenda here, as I have been previously accused of by unclebulgaria - the facts posted speak clearly enough for themselves!
