Would be interesting to know the out come
I will keep this updated when I can say more in a few weeks.
I'm betting on a nightmare of biblical proportions. Best get the popcorn i because I want a front row seat for this one.Well it's been 3 months without a peep so either all is going swimmingly or the whole escapade went so far South it doesn't bear thinking about. I doubt it's anywhere in the middle......

Watch, he'll come back and say everything was fantasticly well done and he got all the cash back from the original guy.
Well not that exiting, we have finished the first fix electrical work using someone else. we will start plaster boarding next week.
I will post what happened with the other electrician after we are finished in court, he is probably ready this also.
yes trev but the O/P mentioned about getting floors down n stuff....so the cable runs should be on view thereIt's certainly confusing but from what the op has said it does sound like this guy got a hair up his bottom about something. In his position I wouldn't have said the cash was actually a payment, more likely a gesture of goodwill. Here's a large wad of cash for you to hold till I can get a similar amount into your account doesn't sound unreasonable to me, nor does it sound as if you're trying to imply he accepts cash payments (which, provided they are properly accounted for, are perfectly fine).
He has though left you in a pickle, the scheme providers give the ability to self certify. Signing off another's work is frowned upon so you may struggle to find someone willing to issue the necessary paperwork

Hi.
Just to let people know that I am waiting for a court date.
I will updated this as soon as I have been to court and post the result.
I'm not taking sides here but before you engagaed the original electricians how many did you get to quote and were their prices similar?
I think what Tony meant was a tongue in cheek way of saying better you than me with the bill that'll be coming your way but as you say it appears that the original guy has tried to have your pants down.
Now I'm no VAT expert but I thought that the only way round the whole new build VAT thing was for your contractors to charge you (as they should) and for you to reclaim it. Could be wrong of course and if I am let me know the mechanics of it as you never know, I could be faced with the same scenario one day
