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, details 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 at standard rates. Sunday would be negotiated and pre - booked as a 7 hour slot only.

Warranty Information

My work carries a 12 month warranty on materials and workmanship in normal situations, in some cases a conditional warranty would be supplied, this will be outlined during quotation, in all cases warranty periods are a maxium of 12 Months.

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

All materials that are supplied by myself are at cost plus 30% standard.

Note: Materials that are not subject to my standard 30% handling charges, this may be  either arranged by myself on behalf of the customer or by the customer do not carry my supplier warranty, in this case the materials are classed as customer supplied items and carry no   guarantee.

Rates and Pricing 

Small Jobs

For small jobs an Hourly rate is available -  Call for details.

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 Estimatre work a cost will be provided based on my initial visit, pricing will be based on time and materials required to complete the task. 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.

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 will incur a small travel expense cost to cover fuel and any toll charges.

Note: for larger Projects a deposit will be required before work is carried out. This is payable in advance, at a time agreed by both parties.

Advice is Free!

During my Initial visit  and site survey,  I will recommend the use of 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.

Daywork or Fixed Price

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.

In the case of a Fixed Price an estimate will be provided for the total time required to complete the task and usually all materials that are required for the project, 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.

Exterior Working

All Exterior Repairs, Painting and Decoarting, Window Repairs or Replacement are all subject to Weather Conditions and may be Cancelled at Short Notice if 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 is due on completion, no credit will be offered.
