To back this up our company is suing another company in the order of $20 million with emails being the core evidence. Som of the top lawers in the US a perfectly fine in using emails as evidence. A letter can be faked as easily as an email.
Are we being robbed of our deposit? Help!

Might not get his deposit back if the burns the place down
Mind you going by whats been said, he may not get his deposit back if he left smudgy windows
Just because they paid to have work done does not mean you were liable for it to be fixed in the first place.
Best place to get advice for rental matters is either the money saving expert forum, or the landlord zone forum.
Ask them to show a dated and signed before and after photo of the dispute or the inventory and check out inventory then ask to see invoices if work was required and was your fault (excluding fair wear and tear).
All before and afters must have been agreed with you, they can't pull an inventory out you never signed for example.
Unfortunately it's standard bad practice for letting agents and landlords to try and squeeze every last penny out of you in an unjust manner.
It's hard to find a good landlord :/

Is the info on record at companies house. So seems legit ask them
.
Doesn't match the details on the invoice though. The details on the invoice point to this bungalow:

Just seems weird to me!

Do this.
I moved a year and a half a go and we had a very similar situation to you.
As our letting agent were unable to provide any evidence for anything being fixed everything was ruled in our favour - even things that we admitted we had damaged
Which is my point. As a limited company they must be registered with companies house, the only listing for Rich Developments Ltd is the one I've posted. Also the invoice is missing well read here, in particular:
So OP probably has a more than good chance of getting their deposit back.
For some reason I thought you were saying they were the same. Just ignore my eejitness!
But yes, very suspect indeed!
Didn't know that about the Invoices either btw, useful to know!
If that is the case then I should get paid for my journey to and from work, no? You know what... I might just live that little bit further out so I get paid more for travelling than working...
Completely false. If you hire some one, you pay them for the job when they are there not the travelling time. It would be for the company to incorporate this into their hourly rate.

You probably have the emails in some kind of tamper proof journal system though right where Bob can't come along and edit it later?
Utter fail of logic. Most people work at one place and do not get paid commute.
Plumbers, cleaners and such people that do an hours work here and hours work there have a minimum call out fee, as traveling takes up most of their day and if they didnt have a call out charge, would get paid sod all.m
Ao no, its not completely false at all.
Secondly google professional oven cleaners, £50 is spot on what they charge, some are even higher.
No it isn't... Minimum call out charges are completely different to paid commuting time. The minimum call out charge may have incorporate elements of paid commuting time. In your example above, they have the minimum call out charge as the job might not last long, not because they are being paid to commute.
Not disputing the cost of the oven cleaner. However, if they are all charging the same, it can't be based on commuting distance as this will vary.
Just my two cents
A big part is travel time. And with a call out charge you are paying for commute amongst other things, it insure they get enough to cover the time and iverheads and make a bit. I didnt say it would show up on your bill as a commute charge, but you are most certainly paying for it.
harging a flatt fee, means its easy to qute. You dont know how long it will take, or if you get stuck in traffic. So no, they wont do it for inducpviduao jobs as thats to complicated.
