About our estimates
Our estimates are based on an estimated time for labour, plus materials.
We try to be accurate when estimating labour time but it is dependent on various factors such as accessibility within the property, condition of the property itself, access to and condition of the central heating and hot water systems or pipe-work, availability of parts and so on. These factors might not become apparent until work has started but we keep the customer informed. All work is time-logged with start and end times confirmed by the customer.
The final invoice always reflects the actual time taken to complete the work in line with the tariff provided. It might be more than the original estimate - or indeed, it might be less!
Appointments
We may request a deposit to secure the first appointment. If a deposit is taken, it will be shown on the invoice and will be deducted from the final amount due. If you wish to cancel an appointment, the deposit will be refunded, providing that you cancel before 1pm the previous working day. For example, an appointment on a Monday would need to be cancelled by 1pm on the Friday.
New customers will be sent a reminder text (where appropriate) 24 hours before the appointment time. This will confirm the engineer's name and include a reminder about our prices and terms and conditions.
