What if a tradesperson does a poor job?

Under the Consumer Rights Act, services must be performed with reasonable care and skill. You're entitled to ask for the work to be redone or get a price reduction if the standard is unacceptable.

Do I have to pay if I'm not happy with the work?

You must pay a reasonable price for work that has been done, but you can withhold payment for incomplete or substandard work. Get an independent assessment to support your position.

How do I check if a gas engineer is registered?

Search the Gas Safe Register at gassaferegister.co.uk. It's illegal for anyone not on the register to work on gas appliances.
