[QUOTE="Gina, post: 539481, member: 36065"] Thank you mort2376! I am so thankful people are so supportive and trying to help here! So nice of all of you! Thinking you have an electrician coming for 5 and a half days in your house, with hours more (5-6 hrs) or less daily (4 hrs but quoted full day), I didn't know he will quote per day, as he came afterwords with the quote, initially just giving us some estimates for little jobs and the consumer unit job, ended up to stay a few hours everyday, than a full day for consumer unit and the 6th time he came to finish all the bits he found at so called testing, meaning earth here and there and some little things, he said the job is finished and the upstairs is all good, as he knew we will have new floors. You come 6 times and don't find the faulty circuit?! Example of bad traders, when asked to fix the chimney they covered it with tar, they melted it and covered the flashing, making a mess, and the wholes / air bricks of the chimney.. we have no ventilation in it now. How I knew what they did? I went up the roof. took photos.. these guys are everyone's nightmare. They supposed to fix the ventilation... did they do it? NO. They wanted to do that tar all around flashing and chimneys! I stopped them. They did so much s..t, but we tried and hoped they will do better as the main guy is the biggest lair on this planet.. I don't trust people, but I believed this guy! He is some character I never dealt with before.
