Estimates
We aim to provide second to none customer service from start to finish. The first step to completing a job satisfactorily is to provide an accurate estimate of the work required and how much it will cost.
Estimates, either verbal or written, can be obtained from our engineers at any time, or an appointment can be made for one of our trained Estimators to call in and assess your job.
Our Estimators will cost your job and produce a plan of the most efficient way to carry out the work, which causes you the least inconvenience possible.
Our team of Estimators and Technical Service Managers will also ‘project manage’ your job, assisting and informing at every stage, no matter how large or small the job.
You will be kept fully informed of the progress of your job through regular updates from our team.
Written estimates will be posted (or emailed) within 48 hours of an estimator’s visit and are valid for 6 month
Work Guarantee
Our labour is backed by our own guarantee of workmanship that is second to none and all materials and products are covered by full manufacturers’ warranties. We also undertake to take up customer complaints or queries with manufacturers whenever possible.
Our livelihood depends on your satisfaction. A huge amount of our work comes from customer recommendations, so your guarantee of excellent service and workmanship comes from our determination to protect our hard earned reputation.
Any defects arising from faulty installation or repair work, that may require rectification, and that occur within the guarantee period, are treated as a priority and will be dealt with at the customer’s earliest possible convenience.
Problems which arise outside the company’s standard guarantee period will also be given priority and any work that needs to be rectified will be dealt with at the customer’s earliest possible convenience. Any work rectified outside this period will be chargeable but this may be at a reduced rate, at the company’s discretion.
