Honest prices.
Fixed before we start.
Round numbers, total price — no VAT added, agreed on the phone before anyone sets off. This is the list we quote from — there isn't a second one.
A fixed quote on the phone
Describe the door, we give you one all-in figure — the total price — no VAT added. You'll have your price in writing before we set off.
You approve before we start
Nothing happens until you say yes. If anything changes on site, we stop and re-quote first — the figure never quietly grows.
Payment at completion
You pay when the job's done and you're happy with it — card, bank transfer or payment link.
If you don't go ahead, you pay nothing. No call-out fee — when you accept the quoted work. No doorstep surprises.
Every job, one price, one honest list.
No bait prices, no asterisks. These are complete starting figures for typical jobs — and the last column tells you exactly what would move them.
One price, day or evening — nothing added after 6pm.
