Chip in newly fitted quartz worktop - can I complain?
I had a quartz worktop fitted yesterday, I checked it over, signed off the job and paid.

Loft insulation problem
Hiya, We had some people round to insulate our loft this week and there's a bit of a problem. Basically, I had presumed they would take up the loft boards, lay the insulation and then put the boards back on top. Instead what they did was poke a big hose through the loft hatch and fire insulation over every surface. So the…
