Maybe some more photos further back to get context of what may be going on

Looks very rough would just do it yourself to be honest would get a much nicer job. Use silver aluminium tape looks better than duct tape or cable ties. And the insulation on the duct should go all the way down to the fan ideally.

maybe offer them some £100 compensation for disruption etc

Dont think it can be done - what if you drop something, or how will you fix the bottom of the boards? Maybe try and explain to them how terrible it will look and how it could go wrong if they dont let you have proper access to do it properly. Im certain neighbours must provide access for...

The reasonable amount your buyers have suggested is 13k, I guess you can argue with them whether this is high or not, or tell them to take it or leave it the price is the price. If it needs the works and is priced down 13k below market for a like for like house with a new roof, then its fair...

It's not tetris pal it's pretty simple, just play around with the tiles if you can't visualise it no need for CAD drawings

Seeing how bad that is, should never passed its first pre-use inspection. But hey ho scaffolding for extensions and residential work is what it is - just want it done cheap and cheerful mostly

Yes technically scaffolding should be inspected every 7 days once installed. This is the responsibility of the hirer/user and not the scaffold company, although in big sites this task is passed back to the scaffolding company and paid for extra or included in the price as weekly inspections.

what centre was the transoms installed at? Cant see a board snapping unless you have a completely rotten board that would be so obvious you wouldnt use it, or massive overspan

Why were your tiles not fit for the job? Was a reason given such as wrong application or type of tile?

Whats the situation at the bottom of the door - will you get a similar gap if you lift the door? Or is it carpet etc Makes sense to correct it for the door to fulfill its purpose

Sounds like the quickest way to demotivate and push out your staff to me! Best shot of the place once you are qualified pal

How recent is the issue? You say you think it might have been a paint issue - guessing that means you have recently redecorated - have you done any drilling into the walls or floors lately for any decorations and may have drilled or pierced any pipework? How about the picture frame above the area?

I would think its a waste. If anything if your neighbour is uninsulated at present they will be cranking up the heating above the level in your place and you will get more incoming heat from it than heat lose ;)

im sure this would massively depend on how you wish it to be done - are current pipes below the floor? if so do you want carpets and flooring ripped up etc and pipes rerouted, or just run pipes across walls etc, how far are radiators being moved, which way do the joists run, or is it a concrete...

My 1930s house has these same blocks in places so not necessarily a wimpey house etc. The blocks I have are actually very heavy and very dense.

no idea but before the new hearth wasnt there something else ? such as tiles etc? surely not just concrete original hearth?

I would if laying the floor first, then trim the timber floor back after laying the stone on top and marking out the perimeter etc, cut with multisaw or something and silicone etc any mm gaps . I dont think stone on top of wood is good tbh

I have just had my hearths redone. I think it would be best to install the hearth prior to the flooring. Hearth stone should be bedded onto concrete construction below I believe, not just mortar onto a timber floor. If you get the hearth in first, properly bedded, the floor can be finished...
