Default HETAS - is it worth anything?

Another in our long saga of getting things done to our house with the
wrong tradesmen

We got a HETAS registered fitter in to install a wood burning stove. We
weren't entirely happy at the time, but he managed to convince us that
he'd done it OK.

Then just as winter starts we're called by someone else local. They'd
also had a stove fitted, and the installation was so unsafe that it's
been condemned as unsafe. And the fitter has emigrated to Spain.

So we contacted HETAS, as his professional body. They say there's
nothing they can do, as he's no longer a member - he voluntarily
deregistered - and the only sanction they have is compulsory deregistration.

I've posted this in legal.moderated for comments too. Legal aside, any
suggestions on what we do next?

Andy
