With yours the bricks match the rest of the facade so the fact that it's done now I wouldn't worry about it. Plus I reckon the unintended maintenance benefit is quite a biggie. That little section will I expect become somewhat of a cobweb colony if you don't stay on top of it. Tell them they stuffed up so they owe you, but you don't want to waste time fixing the issue, so you will accept a "contra" in lieu.....hopefully there is still something you can get out of them?

We're also getting the same entrance door, but on hinges. Can't afford the pivot. Hopefully it's gonna be much cheaper.
