    plumber overcharge fee query

    A receipt of payment as he always gives one once the job has been completed. Old messages state what was the original price, his argument is that I was told of the new price while the work was being carried out but I do not recall him saying, he was going to charge more and caused damage in my...

    plumber overcharge fee query

    Yes he is from a trade site, wras approved engineer/plumber. I have a message of the price we originally agreed to and feel stupid for paying him more than I wanted to because I felt some sort of loyalty as he has done work for myself and family for a few years and thought if I have any issues...

    plumber overcharge fee query

    Thank you for your advice. I always paid him via bank transfer to his business account. He had always provided a receipt in the past as his work is guaranteed for 12 months but I am not sure if he is avoiding it this time because he knows he overcharged me? But even if that is the case I...

    What happened to stop valve and hot water?

    Thanks for the reply and information so far. It is a complete mystery why the stopcock in the kitchen now turns off the hot water and cold in the kitchen when previously it only turned off the cold in the kitchen. No idea why that would happen once everyone was disconnected from the water tanks...

    stopcock issue advise please

    I wish that was true, but the previous owners had it switched to mains supply in 2016. The workers who disconnected the rest of flats also told me that they didn't touch my pipe supply as I wasn't connected to the water tanks at all. This is what's baffling me to why the stopcock now turns off...
