Terms of Business

Updated January 2021

All work including associated materials will require payment on completion, an invoice for the work will be submitted to you, and payment can be made by Bank Transfer, Cheque or Cash. For ongoing work, an Invoice will be submitted at the end of each completed week summarisng labour and materials, Payment is due on submission of the Invoice Prompt Payment is always appreciated.

Daywork or  Estimates

Daywork : pricing is  provided usually for smaller Jobs that take either a half or a full day, in this case Daywork is a Pay As You Go hourly rate, and in many cases materials are supplied by the customer for the job, if the job takes longer than the time alloted, Additional time would be billed by the additional hours.

Estimates: In the case of a Estimate work a cost will be provided based on my initial visit, pricing will be based on time and materials required to complete the work. if delays are generated during the work that are not the fault of ourselves and outside of our estimated time and price, additional costs will be added usually based on time/hourly rate.

Goods & Materials

Materials that are customer supplied naturally will not carry any warranty from me and in the event of failure will incure labour cost for replacement/renewel .

All materials that are supplied by myself are fully guaranteed for 12 months and are charged at cost plus 30% standard .

The cost includes the materials type and selection, pickup and delivery of the goods, saving you time, effort and money.

Note: for larger Projects, or when working with new customers where materials are supplied by us as part of the works, a deposit will be required before work is carried out. this is payable in advance, at a time agreed by both parties.

Warranty Information

My work carries a 12 month warranty , this applies  in normal situations, in some cases a conditional warranty  may be supplied, this will be outlined during quotation, in all cases warranty periods are a maximum of 12 Months.

Advice is Free!

During my Initial visit  and site survey,  I may recommend the use of specific products and equipment that I believe will provide  professional results and finishes,   My advice is based on years of product use and a    lot of trial and error, so with this in mind I may  recommend for example  "Trade Quality Paints" because they will provide the right opacity for the job and true depth of colour. Ultimately it will be down to you and your budget, but consider the amount of additional work a job may require by selecting  a budget range of items, or a lesser quality products, I would ask all customers to give this due consideration.

Monday to Friday:  Normal Trading

Standard labour charges are from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, after  5pm labour charges will increase, details available on request.

My normal working day on site is from 9am until 4pm this can be changed for individual needs. 

Saturday's

Saturdays are available by pre-booking, 4 hours minimum and charges are not standard rates, details and cost's are available on request.

Sunday's

I no longer work Sundays, but on request would consider taking on work during my rest day, once again charges are not standard. Sunday would be negotiated and pre - booked as a 7 hour slot only.

Pre -Booked Work

All works are priced and then booked in at a pre planned date for you, during busy periods there may be a lead in period before works can commence. 

Operating in this way means that I can arrive when I say that I will,  and  allows me to plan my days and weeks efficiently, most importantly not letting my customers down.

So with this in mind I must outline that I do not provide an emergency call out service, but can provide a pre-booked maintenance visit,

Please call for details: 07463 117790

During Busier Period's I may have a lead in time before your work would commence,

Please ring to discuss your ideas and my availability.

Safe Distancing and Protective Masks are used during my work to help reduce risk

Methods of safe working will vary from Job to Job, with this in mind details of safe working methods will be discussed and agreed prior to work starting.

Rates and Pricing

Small Jobs

Small jobs are charged at an hourly rate - Call for Details.

 All Other Work

As all work differs from job to job, I have found it easier to price work  individually, however a pre booked day that involves , hanging pictures, curtain rails, bathroom cabinets, flat pack furniture or  similar items, would be priced at a pre booked  day or half day rate, depending on your requirements. Please call for details.

Work involving, Painting and Decorating,  Joinery,   Room Refurbishments etc ,  that may require  more time would be costed as a quotation or daywork depending on the job and scale of the tasks and would be  priced accordingly, work outside of Wirral areas may be considered and will incur travel expenses to cover fuel and any other costs - minimum charge applies.

Exterior Working

All Exterior Repairs, Painting and Decorating, Window Repairs or Replacement are all subject to Weather Conditions and may be Cancelled at Short Notice if Current or Forecasted Weather Conditions are Considered Unsuitable.

Arrangement will then be made for an alternative date to revisit and continue with the work at a time to suite both parties.

Payment for work and materials is due on completion, no credit will be offered, and there are no exceptions.

 I OFFER A  PAY AS YOU GO SERVICE ONLY.

From Dec 2018  : I have decided that I will no longer offer my services to small
