No one ever came round from my housing association, the cowboys still went ahead and tiled the kitchen. I can't wait til there gone.

Look it's the 15th day since they tuck over me kitchen I just want them gone. It's the housing association problem if they can't bothered to sort it.

It could very well be your problem if it fails and say at the least gives you or a member of your family a shock, or worse... electrocutes you or a family member or friend. People have died as a result of work that was less shoddy than the fine example you posted.

You were clearly concerned enough to post here and ask what the professionals thought about it... we told you and you've allowed it to be concealed. You know it's bad and potentially dangerous, so in my opinion that makes you an accessory should something bad happen in the future.

If you're housing association wasn't listening, you should have contacted trading standards... you should still contact trading standards and/or the housing association. The works you posted are totally unacceptable and the company carrying out these works should not be. And as for being inconvenienced... I'm sorry m'lord, I allowed them to conceal these works, even though I knew they were dangerous because I wanted my kitchen back... WTF!

HARSH but,

Unfortunately he is between a rock and a hard place. He has tried to consult with the housing association but to no avail, maybe a visit to citizens advice may have helped so he would have known his rights and how to proceed.
 
The housing association have a duty of care to ensure your accommodation is safe and fit for purpose. You have raised concerns with them yet they have not been forthcoming with action.

Did you speak to them or contact in written form? Written form is best as you have a record.

Contact them again and raise your concerns in writing. Give them ten working days to respond. In the meantime speak to citizens advice to see where you stand.
