We paid a professional fencing contractor to put some concrete fence

working up to another long ago done similar fence at right angles to
the new one - the panels did not quite work out at full panels, there
was an 18" gap to be filled. This was quoted for as a separate job to
the rest, at £65 for a part panel to be put in.

The part panel has been just pushed in, with no fixing to the already
fixed post which has no socket on its face and no concrete kick board,
just sat on the bare ground to rot. Fair enough I suppose if they had
thrown it in for nothing, but probably not if you are paying £65 for
the job to be done properly. What does the panel think, before I start
growling down the phone?

Harry,

To me it would be a no-brainer. The contractor quoted for the job
(presumably) stating what would be involved to complete the job to match in
with the other works - ergo, that has not happened and I personally would be
on the telephone politely telling him that there was a problem with his
work, question his reasons for doing the job that way, and if there was no
valid reason for that, asking to return and rectify the problem.
