£400 for doing it out of normal hours? I'd be wanting a lot more for giving up an evening to do it.
Ok so all sockets are now working and the landing light except the switches don't seem to be working as they should... Combinations below...
Upstairs switch up, downstairs switch doesn't work.
Upstairs switch down, downstairs switch up - light on
Downstairs switch down, upstairs light switch does not work at all.
I want to work for you. What's your hourly rate!
As the fire was not related to an electrical fault I very much doubt that would stand up to legal scrutiny.I seriously think spmebody needs tp report this so called electrician to the council . trading standards etc.. If hes claiming hes in a scheme then report him. Hes clearly incompetent. There are 2nd year apprentices at my main job who would have done a better job than him.
On similar note i know of an instance locally where when a familys kitchen caught fire from a unattended fryer. The insurance company when they sent adjustor out to look at damage saw the kitchen was all new. He asked about who did works and electrics etc and because they had a dodgy electrician do the work and had no certs it invalidated the insurance so no pay out. It was in t and c's of policy about using competant persons . part p etc... It cost them a couple of grand to put right.
So my advice to the OP is get a proper electrician in or it might cost you dearly.
