Chimney breast removal

We are currently having the chimney breast removed, we were quoted a price which we accepted which included removal of breast over 2 floors, waste exposed of, plastering of exposed areas, replacement of floorboards between kitchen and bedroom and roughly 3 days to do this. They have currently done a day and a half on the job and have removed the bedroom chimney breast. They are now saying it will need another two days of labour another skip due to the flue being full of bricks when the chimney stack was removed and an extra payment for this, so making this job 5 days instead of 3. They also left the job on Friday not covering the exposed hole between kitchen and bedroom so in my head that is a health and safety issue. They also did not put any protection down on the carpets before they started the work. The carpet in the bedroom is now ruined and the stairs carpet is going to need a professional clean. Am I entitled to ask for the work to be done at the price they quoted and for them to work the quoted days before they demand any more at which point a discussion would be had?
