To cut a long story short it was my driveway. Apparently they underquoted by £5000 because their man mis-measured but didn’t notice until they ripped the old one up. They offered to do the £5000 of extra for £3000, I refused.
I ended up paying £500 more as a contribution to the extra blocks and they stood the cost of the prep on the ‘extra’ bit.
I was miles away working and put on the spot. Looking back I should have told them to pack up and **** off.
This is so common in building works and its horrible to be on the receiving end - once a rip out has been done, it puts the 'extra' into blackmailing territory, because the conversation goes "I'm terribly sorry, but we've underpriced, we can pull out now and leave you with a mess and having to wait for somebody else or pay more to us"
Was it a genuine mistake on their behalf?
My guess is block driveways are about £80 to £100 a sq metre from memory, so you should be able to get a ballpark idea.
