    Cheers for clarifing that Leveller. After the posts and looking online I agree I payed a bit over with the £350 but as long as its in the right ball park. As I said in my second post he tried to charge £500, on the day having previously quoted £250. So I'm glad I didn't pay that.

    The problem was that the old lead was rendered to, rather than cut into the wall. The rendering and the lead had come away together so the water was getting in behind. But this was stated at the first quote and that that section would be tidied up. On the second quote the same reason was given for it needing to be grouted out and costing lots more. IMO nothing changed between first and second quote, he was going to try and charge more for the job before he had the second look. Still I'll be a bit more savy next time I get any work done.
