Pricing FAQ

Common
Questions.

Is the site visit really free?
Yes - completely free. No call-out charge, no travel fee, no obligation. We survey the works, ask the right questions, and deliver a written quote within 24 hours. Pimlico charges £120+ just to show up - we don't.
Are materials included in the rates?
No - all rates shown are labour only. Materials are quoted separately before any work begins and itemised clearly on your completion report. No surprises, no markups without prior agreement.
Do you charge extra at weekends?
Weekend rates are slightly higher to reflect Saturday availability (08:00-13:00). There are no night surcharges, bank holiday premiums, or hidden fees beyond the published weekend rate. We operate Mon-Sat only - no Sunday working.
What payment terms do you offer?
Net 7 corporate invoicing is available for property managers, facilities teams and estate agents. Invoices are issued same-day alongside your job completion report. We accept bank transfer and all major cards.
What is the Full-Day Block and why is it recommended?
The Full-Day Block is an 8-hour engagement with one operative. It saves you money versus itemised hourly billing, eliminates repeated site visit fees, and lets you consolidate multiple maintenance tasks into one predictable cost. Property managers with portfolios of 5+ properties find this the most efficient structure.
Do you charge VAT?
All published rates are exclusive of VAT where applicable. VAT is shown separately on all invoices in compliance with HMRC requirements.
