[QUOTE="Bubbles 77, post: 485506, member: 31736"] Hi there, I'm wondering if I could get some advice? We've just had a two storey extension built on the side of our house. All the plastering is complete & walls are painted. Just the flooring to go down & we are ready to move in. The building inspector came last week to sign it off & pointed out that the electrician hasn't hardwired the smoke alarms or fitted a heat detector in the existing kitchen. He pointed out to me on the plans that this was written clearly in black & white. Now the electrician is saying we need to have walls chiseled out in the existing bathroom & trunking down one of the bedroom walls in order to house the wiring. He is also expecting us to pay for the labour to do this. I understand that we will have to pay for materials but surely this should of been done four months ago, when the extension was a shell & the first fix was fitted. Am I within my rights to question this as I believe it is his error to have missed this rather important part in the first place. Thanks in advance for any responses [/QUOTE]
