Still waiting for completion statement, completion on Friday. 

Your solicitors are pushing it a bit - I thought your solicitors would require the remaining funds cleared in their account by tomorrow?

I got my completion statement this morning and have started transferring money ready to complete in 2 weeks.

Yes completion Friday, still no statement.
whose fault will it be?

Yours if you haven't called and said "Where's my completion statement?"

What if I don’t get completion statement for Friday completion?
will I have to pay penalty?

I must have called at least 10 times today but the conveyancer always on phone.

We only exchanged yesterday for Friday completion. 
Still got tomorrow but leaving it late. Shall I just pay estimated amount? It’s around 23k

I paid my deposit (the amount above 10% required at exchange) before receiving my completion statement. I held off on paying my solicitor's fee until after I received it.

Still not received completion statement, hopefully get it tomorrow.
what happens if I don’t?

Why don't you send the 23k and you can get any overpayment back.

I think I'd send it now Slips36, then email the solicitor to confirm.  My solicitor gave me my completion figure plus the remaining amount due for his fee in an email.

Agree with the others, I'd transfer the money just to be on the safe side.

Luckily myself and my solicitors bank with the same company so my deposit transfer was confirmed as received within 30 minutes of me sending it.  If you and your solicitor bank with different companies then it might take longer to clear.

Personally (to stop my nerves from shredding) I'd send the funds and email your solicitors to advise them and request confirmation of receipt along with a copy of the completion statement.
