Can I be charged extra to connect electricity, at the end of the job - approval doc P

I have nearly had a loft conversion completed. All the wiring is in place ready to connect to the fuse board. However I am now being asked for more money as the wires cannot be connected to the existing fuse board and a new fuse board is needed. Given they looked at the fuse board several times before the build then surely they should have realised the wires wouldn't fit, before the job commenced? It should not come as an unexpected surprise at the end of the job, that the wiring will not fit into the existing fuse board? I didn't understand what my loft firm meant but they said it was to ensure it complys with document p. Can they suddenly Spring this cost on me or should I push back and say it's their mistake and they need to fix it? Thanks
