Pricing & Rates

Our pricing is based on the same hourly rates used across the booking form and service pages. Smaller jobs, investigations and urgent visits are normally charged by time, while larger works are quoted before going ahead.

Minimum Charge Applies

There is always a minimum charge of 1 hour at the applicable rate, no matter how small the job is.

  • Standard hours, out of hours and emergency rate tiers
  • Parts and materials charged separately where used
  • Larger jobs quoted where suitable
  • Gardening and window/gutter cleaning can be one-off or recurring

Smaller Jobs & Emergencies

Sometimes, with smaller jobs, there is no need for a full estimate. In an emergency, work may need to start immediately to make the property safe, stop further damage or complete the repair.

In these cases, the correct hourly rate applies and the minimum charge is 1 hour.

Investigation Time

Investigation, testing, diagnosis, access checks and fault tracing are chargeable time where required.

If you ask us to investigate or scope a job but then decide not to go ahead, you will still be charged for the time spent up to that point.

Hourly Rate Tiers

These are guide labour rates. Materials, parts, specialist equipment, waste removal, access equipment and larger quoted works are not included unless agreed.
