Charges
Our charges start from the time we arrive at the job until we leave, less one hour (if full day) for breaks. Time spent buying/collecting materials before or after we arrive will be charged as if on the job.
Save Money
If you can, ensure that all materials needed are at the location ready to be used/fitted, then, you will only be paying us for time spent doing the work.
Make Your Money Go Further
If you want small jobs completed, for example a couple of mirrors hung, this might take only 30 minutes. However we charge per hour (min 3 hours), in effect the job would cost you for a full 3 hours. So why not find us something else for us to do to make up the full three hours? Now, that's honesty!
We charge £12.00 per hour, for normal domestic work. £10.00 per hour for OAPs (Help The Aged Referrals). Special rates if you are in the tourist trade within Cumbria.
Another way to save money
If you can, do any preperation work yourself. For example; if you want me to paint your ceiling, walls and skirting, wash all surfaces down with sugar soap, rinse well with clean water. Lightly sand woodwork and clean with white spirit.
Area covered
We cover an area within 15 miles of Whitehaven, for work over 15 miles we charge 45p per mile for each mile in excess of 15 miles. For example, if you are 20 miles away you would be charged 5 miles at 45P - £2.25.
For jobs lasting more than one full day, we charge a daily rate of £84.00 a day.
Weekends
Saturdays and Sundays are charged at the same daily rate, unless it is an emergency callout, (no callout fee) in which case we will charge you at time and a half = £18.00 an hour
We do not attend emergency callouts at night.
