Personally being hard nosed if you have a contract that is it. If the wording is a bit vague that is a mistake. He should have given you an up to date status of the price but frankly when I agree a price that is it no bonus.

Have thought for a while to swap my Y plan to an S plan as the 3 port valve is playing up. I have the 2 port valves so no problem there. My question concerns the need to remove the 3 port valve a fit a copper T piece, mine is done in 28mm. I am wondering could I not leave the body of the 3 port valv...

Have purchased a new Neff induction hob. Total rating of rings is around 15kw but hob self limits itself to 11kw maximum. Probably it will never have to supply11kw at any instant but nevertheless is a possibility that could happen. My question is about the 2 cables provided to connect the hob to sui...

I have just had a concrete slab laid with a DPM. I would like opinions as to where to trim the DPM at the sides. Hopefully the attached drawing makes it easier to understand. I obviously do not want the DPM to extend past point A or it will be visible. I am uncertain where to cut it between points A...

Interesting you post this hope you are still looking at any replies even though this is the first.

I have just had a 6m x 4m slab laid. 150mm thick with thicker around the edge. Cost was £2k all in using PAV1 concrete.
