Depends on whether or not you have paid him in advance, hopefully you haven't. If he is a member of the FMB inform them immediately along with trading standards. Get Building Control in to check what has been done so far and possibly get your architect to advise you of the approx cost of the work carried out so you know the extent of your financial position before looking for quotes from alternative companies. What area are you in?
