Lets have a look at the photos please?
 
Ok these pipes were supposed to come out below the floor, not into this room at all. There was no reason for them not to be run under the floor (different floor heights between rooms, no joists in the way). In doing it this way instead, he broke a tile he should not have been drilling in the first place.

I personally think it's a bad idea to mud fling in public. But that's just my opinion.
 
This was not too bad, but the pipes going through the floor bent just under the floor. Fine, except the tiles were not down yet and the pipe bend was too close to the floor to allow the tiles to be fitted. Also It was not centred on the tiles as we asked.

Yes chrome. The floor is down, but there is no ceiling below, just open joists, so easy access underneath.
 
Ok this is the rad. Poor photo as wasn't taking it for this purpose-pipes just visible at bottom of photo. The pipes should have gone straight into the skirting, lower down, one at each end of the rad. he ignored what we asked and ran them higher up, both to the middle of the rad then through the skirting, higher than they should have been, so they came out in the bathroom rather than under the bathroom floor (floor height difference).
 
Dancin- yes the chrome was to be on show- on the OTHER side of the wall! It wasn't meant to show in the bathroom at all!
 
might be your work next, no one is perfect we all have off days, some more than others though :)
 
Sorry pic here

The point re. pipes is, we specified where they should run. We confirmed he understood. He then ignored that (for no apparent reason) and ran them elsewhere.
 
No name and shame please on the public forum. This is an open plumbing forum not an open court.
 
One of the piles of rubbish left behind- I did expect him to tidy up a bit.

Bear in mind these are just some photos I've quickly found- I haven't been round taking photos to illustrate the problem. I'll do that tomorrow.

Oh and one more gem from this chap I forgot about. Told him where the electric runs and he only bloody drilled exactly where we showed him it was, narrowly missing the cables.
 
This is the boiler- just for interest. No real issue, but don't really know what I'm looking at tbh, The copper piping runs annoyingly close to the plug switch though.
