Help! Advice please.

Cheers guys appreciate the reassurance, really do. Question is if does go to court would building control get involved?

 

[ruston]

Having no paper trail may actually help you here , the burden of proof is with them and with nothing in writing it is not a strong case . Is any official bodies involved , ie BC, H&S ?
If you are unregistered too, and they knew it and condoned it they are complicit.

 

[Chris derrick]

no BS or HS as far as I know Ruston. The only proof they may have is invoices.

If they have issue with the work you carried out,they should at least have presentable evidence such as an eicr from another source that points the finger at your own work standard

The Part P notification procedure is the householders problem
It is the duty of the householder to make sure the work he commissions complies with the building regs

You should have no direct contact with the householder,your contract was with the builder

 

[ruston]

You are correct Des , that is what I was getting at If the builder has informed the householder that the spark is registered and he is not , it is the builder that is then being decietful.

My advice is bluff it out using the info the guys say.
Learn from this
And don't do it again you daft sod

 

[Chris derrick]

Thanks for the advice guys.... writing all this down. Feeling I have more of a case listening to what your all saying.

 

[ruston]

And take Pauls post in , learn from this . It could be much much worse.

 

[Des 56]

The question I would like to ask but he may not want to answer

[Chris derrick]

[Chris derrick]

There still in the premier league mate, that's all that matters. Not sure about next season

 

[Chris derrick]

Sorry guys, obviously more than £2300!!!!

 

[ruston]

Chris , I would ask a moderator to remove your personal details in view of the nature of the post and pre judiciary.

 

[Chris derrick]

My mistake, sorry.

 

[dmxtothemax]

I think you would be crazy to pay the money
on such an "iffy" case !

 

[DPG]

OK, so you did something a bit dodgy, but then as said above, the builder is just as guilty of that. And they didn't even give you the option of looking at/fixing any alleged issues.

I would put money on them not taking you to court over this - they know they would have next to no chance of proving anything against you. I reckon they're just trying it on. Wouldn't surprise me if they've done something like this before.

At the end of the day, you did some installation work and you assumed the builder was going to get building control to sign it off as part of the whole works.

DON'T PAY HIM.
