What £59 of advice actually looks like
Same price, same builder, four different situations. Each one is a full worked example — what you send, what comes back, and what to do next. Read whichever one matches where you are.
All four are illustrative. Nobody’s quote, survey, photos or address ends up on a website — but the situations are the ones that come in every week, and the cost ranges are the ones we work to.

Workmanship dispute
