Hello, the builder here has gone a bit well… I dnlont know without being rude. 

He’s done a really good job throughout but let down on these bits which are the joist hangers. One is a car crash which he said he let his labourer loose and is going to change. The other 3 are partially nailed. (One folded down at top but on a double for stair opening. The others on a single but just down one side or holes omitted. My BCO suggested extra nailing from joist direct to ledger but really should I be getting him to cut off bolts and  re fit where I can? (The car crash one he will) the one with hanger bent down at top could be enhanced nailed direct into ledger? - although it’s on a double for stairs. The one that is only down one side is also not great but only on a single, as his the partially, they’re both nailed in top though so I thought the one jumping the patted plate is ok. The half side only - I don’t know. Any practical suggestions please fixed please?

Theirs a nailing schedule on the hanger. I.e 20 for face fix only. 8 for face and 4 top. The schedule doesn’t give a mix though although their are others ways around apparently without hangers but needed to know the best alternatives

The car crash one is an important one as it’s a double joist. 
get him to install a bolt in the wall in the right bloody location 🤦🏻‍♂️

then sink the nuts in on the wonky ones so they are flush, then re fit the joist hangers correctly 

Fark me it’s not that hard. 
 

why are the bolts at a stupid angle.
