In short, yes. Not sure they did put any sheets down though, they probably just scraped up the lumps as they went along. And no, nothing was discussed at the sales/design/planning stage regarding floor protection. It was all "very little disruption, you might just have to vacate the bedroom...

Fair comment, but one of their sales pitches is that they only knock through until the very end. As quoted from their website: "The majority of your build is external and the project is accessed via the roof so you will not have builders walking through your home until it is absolutely...

Yeah, that's sorted now. At no point were we told that the floors were at risk. It was a slap dash job which we're now having to fix. And they chucked waste water down the toilet. It's not really the mess that really irks me, it's the complete lack of respect to the property.

Hi - Have been looking for advice regarding what a builder's responsibilities are when causing mess/damage to a client's property. My scenario is that I have had a loft conversion carried out and as part of putting in new walls downstairs for stairs to go up into the roof, there had to be a...
