The calculation of units is irrelevant : a calculator will sort that issue out. The word 'deemed' is the key thing. More important is the person (or organisation) that does the deeming : unless you control that entity. If there's any doubt about the process and the range of possible answers - then the cautious answer is yes it is more than likely to be inadequate.

@kandgmitchell, and @saveasteading point to a generalisable problem inaccurate or poor workmanship is commonly excused by reference to the follow-on trades : or preceding trades and that process continues until chippies can justifiably say that they compensate for everyone else's errors of commission or omission. Added to that, there's a pernicious tendency to attribute fault to a customer who (as in this case) has the temerity to draw attention to a genuine problem. @kandgmitchell 's formula - reference to standards required by others - is a superb way of professionalising matters. Works well across all professions - apart from undertakers.

Lovely house and design. Interesting Insta account. Your question may well be better directed to legal experts.
