That pump is a secondary return pump

Only way they could install it is from the cold cylinder connection to the hot

But that won't work on your cylinder

If it's plumbed into the cold eg cold is flowing from the stop tap to this then out to your cylinder then that would add some restriction
 
Any chance on getting a bit more light in there ?
 
Either way won’t make a jot of difference to his issue i suppose. If it’s loud it could be dry
 
being used as a strat pump which with your cylinder doesnt do anything
 
I mean I’d be intrigued how he explains it all. I would ask him for a formal written explanation
 
If he was using it just as a secondary pump it could be to ensure no huge water draw off before you get hot at a tap
 
Another interesting part of the puzzle is that he said that loft firm owe him 10k and were trying to get him to sign contact retrospectively which said they were just an agent and the contract was between me and him. He was saying there was no way hes going to sign it...not sure where this leaves me legally!
 
These are the questions you need to ask. I would still say as he’s physically installed there is liability. Particularly as he’s installed it so wrong. Also it’s funny that he’s coming up with the excuses already

Doesn't help the home owner but if the loft company put the wrong cylinder up there before the plumber started. They owe him money and are about to go bust and told him to make it work or he will never see his money
He may be stuck between a rock and hard place.
