Our Charges
We have a simple price structure, which is 100% transparent. There are no hidden extras or nasty surprises. Our labour is charged hourly with a minimum charge of 1 hour.
With most jobs we’ll first arrange a visit to provide a free quote for the work. This won’t cost you a penny and will enable us to estimate how long the work will take and give you an accurate price up front.
For smaller jobs such as putting up a light fitting or changing lamps, a quote is not normally necessary. These jobs typically don’t take much time and labour costs are charged as per our normal rates, which you can find listed below.
