To not pay increase

So have had some work done. Had a quote which clearly stated that the price was for labour and materials and there would only be a change in price due to different materials requested, but would be discussed at the time and agreed.

No changes to original quote.

Work completed, late and very untidy.

Now requested a further £80
For in discussed materials...

Where do we stand??? What would you do?

My thoughts too... Meant to say requested £80 for 'undiscussed' materials!

Hmm for icelolly

Is your quote in writing OP? If so, then you have the right of it I believe.

icelollycraving · 02/04/2015 21:45

If the quote is precise I would challenge it. It also would depend on the price of the job,for example if the cost was £150 then the extra is very large,if 5k not so much.
Be assertive,you'll be proud of yourself!

Yep quote in writing and specifically said that any price increase wound be due to change in materials and would be discussed prior.

Husband happy to do it but I just wanted to make sure we weren't being unreasonable!

Not unreasonable at all.

Altho think job took longer than expected not due to problems but due to inexperience
