Well done for getting it looked at. Sorry for the pain that lies ahead. What do the bricks holding it up sit on? Piers under the floor?

Maybe I'm being naive but after getting the quote back already along with a few other jobs seems this guy has good reviews, availability and the price wasn't bad. What could go wrong? Have a few other people coming next week to compare.
edit: regarding what the bricks are sitting on, after removing a few more seems it's not on the floorboards but something deeper, so that's something.

For those that were helpful/interested, turns out my RSJ wasn't sitting on any padstones. Today's builder was advising leaving on the existing brickwork but being conservative with how much to remove each side as the RSJ wasn't actually resting on top of the party or hallway wall. Having said that he was very keen to acrow it until secure. Also this thread needs this.
