Boiler Service
The gas boiler service fee includes VAT and covers the cost of the service engineer’s call out and servicing cost. Prior to the service visit the engineer will arrange an appointment time and date with you.

If we arrive at your property and cannot gain access then you will be charged the full service fee.
Drain Clearance
The fixed price drain clearance fee includes VAT and covers you against the cost of the service engineer’s call out and evaluation and efforts to clear your drainage system using either rodding equipment or van pack jetting system.
The majority of drain clearance is successful, however, investigations can reveal that the blockage is outside of your property boundary or has a serious underlying cause. In these cases we cannot guarantee that clearance attempts will be successful and there may be cause to involve the local water authority, neighbouring property owners or further investigations. The costs of further investigations and follow on work are not covered by the fixed price fee and no refund will be given should any of these eventualities arise. We cannot offer any warranty or guarantee against future blockages.
Security

Your guarantee
The repair is guaranteed to cover any parts supplied for a period of 12 months from the date the parts were fitted. Works that have not involved the fitting of new parts are not included in our guarantee as these are regarded as temporary repairs .

If you wish to cancel after this time or during the repair, you will be charged a call out / administration fee of £45.00, which will be charged to the original card. Calls made directly to the engineer or any other party to request a re-visit are not covered under this guarantee.
This guarantee does not cover any subsequent unrelated breakdown / fault(s) to the appliance/area. If you request an engineer re-visit and an alternative fault is found and you wish to continue with the repair, you will be given the option to purchase an additional repair.
If you call us to book a revisit you will be asked to leave payment details with us to cover the cost of the return visit, however, if the issue is related to parts that we have fitted then this payment will be refunded.
