Thanks everyone for the very helpful advice and input. I'm away today but will try and get photos and drawings tomorrow. And yes, we are working with a design-and-build company. They are coming out to see us tomorrow (snow permitting!) so I'll point out that this is not what we contracted for, even if it is technically legal. We are ultimately the ones finally responsible for compliance with buildings regs so they should have run any variation from the approved guidelines past us beforehand, rather than just expecting us to accept it now.
Obviously, the reason that they didn't run it past us beforehand was because it's a mistake (and nobody, even the design company, are denying that it's a mistake) but that doesn't mean we have to live with it. Annoyingly, there is only 1.5k of the bill left to pay as everything else has been paid upfront. But I'm certainly planning to withhold that 1.5k until we get a workable solution.
