    I don't use capping - never bought the stuff and never will


    I ensure the cables are deep enough to be out of the road of a plaster trowel.


    I sometimes put conduit in if I am running data / coax and I may thing the client will 'add' things afterwards.


    I have had NICEIC and SELECT inspectors out to jobs where there has been no capping and there were no comments.
    Precisely my point - it has never been required. Although the resident gas plumber seems to think he knows better than Electricians.

    Don't pay them, they are cowboys and they are taking the pee, shocking workmanship

    While people are arguing about not very much at all, this comment just slips past.

    This is ridiculous advice. The OP is entitled to a decent job and people are entitled to be paid for a decent job.

    Both of those things need to happen.

    You have to allow them an opportunity to put things right or negotiate with them for a discount. Without this you don't have a legal leg to stand on (barring some exceptions). People make mistakes or have off days. The boss sounds decent so they should be given an opportunity to do the job properly.
