Conservatory (wooden) has been up for around 20 years (long before we moved in) and needs replacing.

We've recently had some work done and were quoted 2-3 weeks to finish. Raised garden area with sleeper borders (we supplied sleepers) which was then turfed - no problem with that part of the job, all good. Patio (36sqm) slightly different story. We're going into week 7 tomorrow and the job...
