Right serious post time! (makes a change!)
Basically, my uncle is a cu*t.
My great nan is in the process of selling her house so she can move in with my nan. They had someone come to look at the house and the surveyors report basically said the cavity wall insulation isnt up to scratch. Ok no worries get it sorted! This is where my cu*t of a uncle comes in. He reckons he can do it for a lot less than any company can do it. 20k down the line and he has done the insulation as well as rewire the entire house and redo all the plumbing....cun*t right?
Heres what im worried about. He hasnt got a qualification to his name and hes done all this work. Now i know for a fact that even removing a cover from a gas boiler is illegal unless your gas safe registered and likewise, any work carried out on a electrical installation has to be signed off by someone with part P. My problem is, my nan has stupidly paid him for this work and it will never get signed off and therefore isnt worth a penny when the surveyors come back and it comes to selling the house on. More worryingly, he's been working with gas piping which hes not qualified for and if the house ever sells, ultimately my nan is responsible should that installation fail and someone dies because of a gas leak.
Basically, i want to know who i can report him to for both working on gas and electrical systems? I dont give a f*ck what happens to him so if he ends up in prison over it, so be it but im just not sure who i can tell. Hes also not a company at all. Just doing it as cash work.
cheers
