Your Questions, Answered Properly

Fifteen straight answers to the things clients ask us most — about pricing, qualifications, guarantees and what it's actually like having us on site.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Can't find your answer? Call us — we're happy to talk through anything before you commit.

Getting Started

Call us, use our contact form or message us on WhatsApp. We'll arrange a site visit at a time that suits you, then issue a fully itemised written quotation — normally within 24 to 48 hours of the visit.

Yes. Site visits and quotations are completely free with no obligation. We'd rather give you accurate advice up front than win work on an estimate we can't stand behind.

For smaller works we can often start within two to three weeks. Larger construction and mechanical projects typically need six to ten weeks' notice for planning, procurement and programming.

Pricing

Every quotation is itemised by labour, materials, plant and preliminaries so you can see exactly where your money goes. We work on fixed-price contracts wherever the scope allows.

Only if you change the scope or if genuine unforeseen conditions are uncovered — for example hidden structural defects. In both cases we stop, explain the position and issue a written variation for your approval before proceeding.

For most projects we agree a staged payment schedule tied to milestones. We never ask for the full amount up front, and payment terms are set out clearly in your contract.

Qualifications

Yes. We carry £5 million public liability cover, employer's liability insurance and contract works cover as standard. Certificates are available on request before works begin.

All our gas engineers are Gas Safe registered, our welders hold current coding to BS EN ISO 9606, and our site teams hold CSCS cards with SMSTS/SSSTS supervision.

We are members of the Federation of Master Builders and TrustMark, and hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditation.

During the Works

Always. Dust sheets, floor protection, dust-extraction tools and a daily clean-down are standard on every job — including commercial sites and occupied homes.

You'll be assigned a dedicated project manager who is your single point of contact from first visit to final handover, with weekly written progress updates.

The vast majority of our work is delivered by directly employed staff. Where a specialist discipline is genuinely required we use long-standing, vetted partners under our own supervision and insurance.

After Completion

All workmanship carries a written guarantee, with 10-year cover on structural and heating installations. Manufacturer warranties on equipment are registered on your behalf.

Call us. Defects covered by your guarantee are attended free of charge, and we aim to have an engineer on site within 48 hours — or within hours for anything affecting heating or water.

Yes. We offer planned maintenance contracts for both domestic and commercial clients, from an annual boiler service through to full SLA-backed facilities management.
