    Is there such a thing as a regulating body for plumbers or something
    Don Quixote is alive and well in the context of this thread.:D The key here as I mentioned before is to establish the cost of the work BEFORE it starts and not after. That way this situation doesn't arise.
    What can I do if he demands payment and refuses to leave otherwise?
    Is he still on your premises with his hand outstretched? :rotfl:

    Cheers

    :rotfl::rotfl:Proper thing too. Its cost you more than a tenner posting on this thread. Nice to see you've kept your SOH. What a plonker he is though. If he'd told you £55 all up in the first place then you'd probably have been quite happy.
