There were several different jobs that were changed, added to and amended along the way, part down to us changing our minds and also discovering issues. This lead to us going to an by the hour arrangement but I expected to pay for the hours they were working, and not their breaks as well. I...

Hi, I have had builders in doing various jobs for me, they start at 8.30, finish at 4.30 take a couple of 15 min breaks and around half hour for lunch. Now the bill has come in and they are charging for 8 hours a day and I would have expected the breaks to not be billable. Is it usual practice...

Yes true, have so much else going on that i just want to put this behind me. If I have to fight to get them to corrected it I will do but if it will be fine then I can put my energy elsewhere, and at the moment there are a lot of elsewheres! Created a onedrive folder and put a few more pics...

Not too bad really, had a quote for this and some other brickwork and came in at £625 plus scaffolding. Shame some of the other issues I asked him to look at were worse than expected, there was long list of things that I knew needed to be done, and it keeps getting longer.

Thanks for your responses. He didn't mention any issues with the foundations so hopefully they are ok. I'm going to get someone to have a look and quote to get an exact cost, seems like there there is too much risk otherwise.

Hi all, I'm after an approx cost of some work that was brought up in the survey on house I'm in the process of buying. One of the things picked up was that the bay window has fallen forward slightly (75mm top), which has also resulted in some gaps around the windows. He's suggested fitting...
