Terraced house, good budget. The client wanted to start quickly.

The neighbours hadn’t been told about the work yet — and on a shared wall, that’s a problem before it’s even begun.

A party wall agreement isn’t optional here. The neighbours need to be informed and in agreement before day one. Skip it and they can legally stop your build mid-job, scaffolding up and roof open.

The client wanted to start and ‘sort the neighbours if it came up.’

We weren’t willing to begin a job that could be halted three weeks in.

So we walked.

Fair call, or were we being too cautious?

Three firms quoted. We weren’t the cheapest, and the client told us so.

So we showed them why.

Our quote had the structural calculations, the steels, the building control fees and a contingency — all itemised.

The cheaper quotes had some of that missing and the rest buried in vague wording.

Not because those jobs didn’t need it. Every loft like this does.

We can’t take necessary work off a quote and call it a discount.

They went cheaper. We’ll probably never know how it ended — but we know what was left off the number that beat us.

Agree with how we handled it?
