Hi,
Early this year I had a garage extension built. The contractor arranged for an electrician to fit two strip lights and a couple of sockets . This was done. However, the contractor had not fitted the windows, doorsor guttering down pipe. The we had the bad storms in February, resulting in water form the garage roof draining out of the guttering but as there was no down pipe the wind caused the rainwater to blow into the garage. The switches and sockets were dripping with water - and the general weather didn't hep the situation. I boarded over the electrics and switched the power of to the garage at the main circuit breaker board. I informed the contractor and have done so on a regular basis since then. There has been no acknowledgment that this was a dangerous situation, even a formal letter requesting an explanation was ignored. I'd like to report the issue, but no one seems to want to help, that includes the local citizens advice bureau. What should I do?
