Gosh! I feel very sorry for you. If it was my home and my family and my kitchen I would just ask them to leave and try and get someone else to rectify the bad workmanship and finish off the kitchen for you. I would not have people in the house working on my kitchen that have been taking drugs. (But then I would be fitting my own kitchen!). Sorry, I am sure you will lose some money through this persons actions but your families safety is paramount. You would not want to have a 'high' person working on your electrics or gas!

Never just take a recommendation from friends did this friend have work done by this builder? also turning up to work (stoned) is a violation of the health and safety requirements and may cause a danger to you and your family as well as the workers themselves and he can be reported to the local Building Control Officer and other authorities you would be best to avoid any further work to be carried out and if you have any monies owing to the builder dont pay! it also it my be advisable to contact your solicitor.
If you require the work to be finished contact My Builder who will be able to offer local trades people with references who will come and quote you,

best to get a reputable company in to finish the work and try the court system to recoup anything from original contractor

抱歉这里灾难故事,建筑商莱克阀门e that should be named and shamed, and definately told to pack up there tools and leave the job, take photos of the work and speak to a solicitor, unfortunately these type of so called tradesmen operate with no standards and give you the customer an opinion that all builders are the same, I have followed these kind of people many times having to put work right and restore customer faith is the hardest part.
do not pay any more money to your existing builder, tell him you handing it over to your solicitor to deal with and hope you get reassured by the professional you get in next to finish the work.
