Hes still chasing the pipes to hide them. Tbh I think it sounds reasonable, its not a straight forward job and sounds awkward.
Also I try to never give someone the expectation your paying for 2 days, the price is X and ill put beside 2 days to do it solo but I might have it done in 1.5 days.
Is material included in the £700 too?

That's my thoughts too. We've supplied the radiators and valves, but all the other material is included in the £700.
^ all the skirting boards will have to be taken off by the floor fitters anyway - which is also why it seemed like a reasonable solution to me. I guess my OH's point is the area of the wall above the line of the skirting and wants that made good.
Removing the skirting is guaranteed to fuck up sections of the wall. So again it didn't really seem that much of an issue. This has also been called out by all of the floor fitters who've quoted.
This is also a bit of a personal whinge as well I guess. The patio is being done today/tomorrow which I've sorted all the clearing out for. OH is away so I've had that. I expected trades to be a hassle but not to get it on the other end too.

Curious to hear people's thoughts on this.
In the end OH said fuck it let just them to do it.
The plumber was unsure about cutting into the sitting room floor as he wasn't sure where the gas supply to the fire was. Suggested chasing out behind the skirting board for the sitting room, which he has now done.
When I talked to my OH they immediately asked what the new price was on the basis that they didn't do what was agreed and this is a lesser task.
Plumber was here from 10/11am to 6pm and is back tomorrow at 11am - I guess for another 3hrs or so.
TBH I felt a bit blindsided after a full on day in a full on week. My gut is that so far he's still chased it in so when finished there will be no visible pipes in the sitting room. I'd prefer it to have been under the floor, but equally if something goes wrong it's easier to access. So I'm not sure a reduction is relevant. To be clear my OH isn't expecting the £350 price, just not £700.
