·       All electrical installation works will comply with BS7671: 2008 and any amendments in force at the time of the works.

·       Some disruption of the power supply is inevitable when carrying out electrical works. It is the client’s responsibility to make arrangements to cover any consequence arising from the temporary loss of power.

·       There is a minimum charge for 1 hour at the hourly rate applicable for every appointment unless quoted otherwise; thereafter charges are billed in 30 minutes intervals for every commenced interval. If the time of work extends to a period of a higher charge rate then the Customer will be charged for that period at that higher rate unless it has been agreed to carry out the remaining works at another time.

·       The total charge to the Customer shall consist of the cost of materials supplied by the Company and the amount of time spent by the operative in carrying out works (including all reasonable time spent in obtaining un-stocked materials) charged in accordance with the Company’s current hourly rates. The Customer shall only be charged for the time spent related to the Customer’s work. All parking and congestion fees are on top of our hourly rate.

·       Collection of non-stock items is chargeable but:

1.    Time must be kept to a minimum & reasonable.

2.    The Customer must be informed wherever possible when the operative leaves the premises.

·       If the Customer fails to ensure unhindered access to the site by the Operative and as a result the Operative cannot gain access to the site, the Customer will be charged for the time spent awaiting access or for 1 hour labour, whichever is greater in addition to any parking charges.

·       If the customer requests the company to install their own fittings e.g. plug sockets or light fittings and these are faulty or not at the works location when the company is there, a charge per hour for every hour we are at the works location will be charged as per our standard charges.

·       Position of fittings, light points, switches, routes of cables, pipes and other parts of installations if not specified prior to commencement of the works shall be determined by the operative at his own discretion in accordance to Building Regulations and common practice.

·       Where work is to extend or modify existing circuits, costs quoted assume that the existing installation is in adequate condition and complies with the current regulations. Any works required to bring the necessary parts of the existing installation up to standard will be at an additional cost (parts and labour).
