Now they're keen to come and do major works on the valley. Now call me suspicious but unwritten van, call from withheld number, no business card, a call this morning from a mobile number that doesn't trace to a bone-fide business in the area and I'm suspicious of being scammed so I've asked for a written estimate. What's the betting I don't get one?

Personally, I wouldn’t have let him anywhere near my house in the first place. He’s actually removed material from the building because he decided it was loose? That stinks to high heaven. If I were you I’d be getting a reputable local property maintenance company to have a look at that, and don’t be surprised if your white van man has actually caused the damage in order to get you to pay him for repairs.
