In the ongoing Schuko saga, the kitchen fitters have installed two dry

Can dry lining boxes be used with chipboard? Someone told me they
were intended for plasterboard only, but I suspect this is incorrect.


Get them back to do the job properly.

Given that I am not a qualified electrician, would I not need to
instruct an expert report to demonstrate that what they have done is
not correct? This could cost orders of magnitude more than the sum in
dispute.

If the complaint is that the sockets are crooked in or another plane
then this is aesthetics, net electrical fitting, so you are as qualified
as anyone to object.

It's about electrical fitting, as I said. As I see it, if the
electrician gives evidence that it is customary to fit in this way,
and bring witness to this effect, then I don't see how I can win in
the absence of technical evidence. Unless anyone here fancies a wee
day out ....
