Hi - if a contractor invoices for materials plus labour, am i entitled to request a copy of the receipt for the materials (just in case any of them fail for example so i can take it back directly rather than having to request the contractor to help)

Thanks

Depends.

You don't have a contract with the supllier of the parts - but no doubt providing a recipt for a broken toilet seat or whatver at teh plumber's merchant will get things sorted.

If it is a small job, by all means.

If it is a substantial build contract, you really want you contractor 'on the hook' to rectify issues with the kit that he installs.
