Important Pricing Information

Our call-out fee covers the engineer's attendance, initial diagnosis and up to 30 minutes of labour for a small repair where possible.

Parts and materials are not included.

If additional labour, parts or further work are required, these will be charged separately. Wherever reasonably possible, we will explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement before carrying out additional chargeable work.

Payment of a call-out fee does not guarantee that the problem can be fully repaired during the first visit. Some plumbing, heating and gas faults may require parts, further investigation or a return visit.

If the engineer is able only to diagnose or make the situation safe, the applicable call-out charge remains payable.

All prices shown are exclusive of VAT at 20%, with the VAT-inclusive amount also displayed for clarity.
