Hi
I'm looking for some advice please.
I had an electrician do an EICR on my home at the beginning of April 2021. It then took them till July to send the report. In the report they listed several things with a C2 "Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action required."
One of the things they listed as a C2 actually went wrong towards the end of June resulting in me having to call out an emergency electrician on a Friday night (not cheap!). If they'd sent me the EICR straight after doing it then I would have carried out the work required and avoided paying for an emergency electrician!
The electrician that did the EICR is now demanding payment. However, they knew that there were potentially dangerous issues in my home but it then took them nearly 3 months to tell me about them! Surely this is a questionable level of service and standards? Am I within my rights to not pay for this EICR?
Thanks
