how well would you rate this electrician?

Appalling work. If need be say roughly where in Scotland the installation is as there are soon good contractors on here that can help you if needed.

Cheers everyone for your input. Let's hope the letting agents take the hint after they see this thread and find themselves another electrician.

That person needs to be reported to trading standards/building control

an ideal example to raise to either the relevant Scam or trading standards

Agreed. This man has only a couple of online reviews with the earliest going back to 2015, which unsurprisingly also describes him bodging their electrics. It's scary to think how many consumer units he's likely to have touched in the last 6 years.

Given the recent case utilising the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, get to Trading Standards pronto.

Your uncle's local authority should have someone who deals with electrical safety in rented accommodation. Having already complained to his landlord, they should be the next step. Where is your uncle based? Maybe we can help you find contact details for them.
