Electrical

Work not signed off.

I had a full renovation done on my property, which included every single bit of eletrcal work being redone and a new box installed. This is over a year ago now, and the electrician was arranged through the builder we had doing the work. We've yet to have the work signed off. Since then, we had a plug installed in our cellar, as it was removed and that is where our washing machine and chest freezer live, which we had another electrician do as the one our builder arranged just failed to turn up multiple times. We've had to have a British Gas electrician in (we have cover with them) to look at a light fitting which burnt out, and while he was there I questioned him about it. According to him, the wiring on the actual electrical box isn't correct, and some fairly lethal parts were left exposed (access to the back of the box through missing covers). Some fuses which should be grounded are not etc. He advised I should report this. I've spoken to the builder about it, and he said hes been in contact with said electrician to get them to come down and, surprise, he hasn't. What would be the best course of action for myself? If anything was to go wrong with the electics, I wouldn't be covered as they've not been signed off and I think more than enough time has passed for this problem to be still standing.
