To be honest you get what you pay for. Stable door etc., but would have been better going for local recommended heating engineer.
Still a complete punt, chances are this is large local firm contracting out work to little local guys.

The magistrate is already way on your side as businesses (in the general term builder) do not have a very good reputation.
Yes it is wide sweeping and very unfair on those that do great work but in the public eye that is how it is felt, the same
goes with garages i'm afraid.
My experience of the law and via my wife whom is a barrister is exactlyBengie,
Be careful. You are giving advice with a prediction to the outcome, based on one side of a story posted on an Internet forum. You (presumably) have no idea of the content of the offer from from the contractor.
Whilst I accept that you are trying to be helpful, it may possibly raise false hope to an individual who is probably facing a significant expense in rectifying the situation.
There is a process to follow in these situations and only when that is complete can a rational decision be made as to which route to follow and the likely outcome.
Contractors who undertake straightforward boiler swaps ( by pricing on what I think is an unprofessional manner) are rarely unprofessional in both specifying the extent of their scope and remedial works to decoration and openings et al.
Your comment with respect to the location of electrical sockets and isolation switches may or may not be true. However, they appear to be existing and are probably outside the scope of the contractors work.
Gas Safe, which I appreciate you have not raised will only survey the works with respect to the GS(IU)R. They won’t repair the problems, nor indeed give any advice to the customer. They will however raise any issues found with the individual who undertook the work and the individual / organisation who registered the installation. Whilst this is a useful exercise, it won’t encompass the external controls so does not move the customer very far forward in resolving his / her problem.
I think that this is a particularly sad case and I hope that it can be successfully resolved. In my experience it won’t be quick and will probably end in a cash settlement that closes the matter with both parties being dissatisfied with the outcome.
