fair point but i would say apart from the socket & light fitting, with paperwork it's not far off being right cost. as for the solar if they placed the order & was delivered to site & they did not wait 14 days until fitted without a letter of consent then it can be removed as they are in breach.From memory it was a Schneider 9 that looked like this....

I will visit as soon as I can & get more details on the installation.
Man & wife business as far as I can ascertain; I don't wish to name them until it is conclusive that they have committed an offence. Business (probably their home) address 6.6 miles from job site.
I wish I was there when quoted! Last year when I was on holiday they signed up for way overpriced solar panels which I just managed to get them out of within the cooling off period (with help from this forum). This year I was too late! I thought they had learned from what happened last year but clearly not. I think I need to get onto some retirement forums too to help understand why this happens. I think they are just of the trusting generation and too easily conned.
Richard, your mention of "consumer contracts regulations 2013" is completely new to me & I will look into it. Thank you.
I accept that there are many other costs to running a business but they don't all need to be charged to one customer!
Do remember that in the last resort if there was a verbal quote and no paper providing information about your right to cancel then you can cancel the contract within 12 months at no cost to you.
If the cancellation information is provided then you have 14 days to cancel.
Cancellation of the contract means that it is as if no service had been provided and all payments made must be returned in full.
(consumer contracts regulations 2013)
Flipping heck, 12 months AND 14 days apparently.If you do not provide the cancellation rights information on a durable medium then the cancellation rights extend to 12 months.
But the installer has completed his work, as long as he supplies the cert?It does say, that where services have been fully performed, i.e. completed, they are exempt from cancellation rights?
I don't quite understand these pics. Is the first one, appears to have a plastic CU, in the top left and what appears to be jointed cables (wrapped in blue tape) on the right. The second picture is of the new CU?
Hoping pictures will be attached for those that requested them. The old metal box CU was in the cupboard pictured & the new CU is just through the wall where wires can be seen heading at top right of picture.
No certificate received yet (Saturday). I will be making contact with installer middle of next week if it doesn't arrive.
Thanks for viewing.
