Very lucky - when I had a dropped Kerb put in, I was only allowed to use a Council Approved Contractor off their limited approved list. Once I had it done, I had to pay the Council £200 so they could check the completed work that the Contractor, that they said I had to use, had done.
I did argue that if I had done the work myself, I could understand them checking to make sure it was compliant, but surely if I was only allowed to use a contractor that they had approved, there was no need to check the work, or they should charge the Contractor so he could stay on their limited approved list.
That fell on deaf ears. I imagine they were charging him for the privilege too...
