    I think they want you to pay for their Christmas party!

    I would say that £500 would be more than enough to cover the extra works. I also can't see how frame sealing is extra, this needs to be done to form a weatherproof seal and without it I think FENSA or Building Control would have something to say about it!

    The invoice has internal materials 100 odd quid for two MDF cills (which I think is a bit on the ridiculous side but that's not being raised at the moment!)
    Disposal.
    Materials for boarding up the window.
    Extra labour, no breakdown just a unit costs which is about 700 quid total

    I dont want to be unfair but a 2k job turning into nearly 4 because they had to board up a window and do two cills is bit hard to stomach.

    I agree, but it all needs to be unpicked.

    You're a balanced poster, so I trust that you can go through it reasonably before throwing your toys out. Go for it :)
