    You see yourself as a decent bloke, part of that is not taking money off people who can't afford it. Feeling good about yourself is worth more than a few quid.

    Now, i'm not convinced he is that well off, and he is a really good bloke who is always willing to give me a hand if needed, so, i'm a bit unsure about taking his money. Gut feel is that I will tell him it didn't cost much so i'll take a few quid off him and pay most of it myself.

    What would the contractor panel do?
    See if it's covered under his house insurance (3rd party claims or accidental damage).

    He would have to pay at least twice for that privelege.

    Do you divide them lengthways or widthways?

    He was calling himself a cretin quite enough!

    Hasn't broken the paintwork so hoping it would be a relatively easy job and under £100. If it isn't though, then heading to the £400 level.

    But you really can't beat having a neighbour who you can leave keys with and who will take delivery of stuff for you.
