Dh has been sacked from his new job

Company are claiming that dh's work not up to scratch although dh maintains that the manager gave him strict instructions to work to and he did just that.
Boss told him to carry out the works in a certain way and certain order, he followed instructon but the 'way' that he was told to do it transpired to be wrong.
The company lost money.
Said manager admitted liability with the project.

He has now been told that he is sacked. He did not receive a warning (verbal or written), he has not been given any notice.

Does he have any rights?

Company have dismissed dh, plus other tradesmen not directly linked to his work.
Apparantly they don't have any work with immediate starts although they maintain that that is not the reason they have dismissed dh and other tradesmen

After only seven weeks, I'm sorry but he has no rights. Back to the Jobcentre.
