More on each of these

1. You call or email

   Tell us roughly what needs doing. If it is something we do not take on, we will say so on the phone rather than waste your afternoon.

2. We come and look

   Usually Lorna. She measures, looks at access and asks what you are hoping to spend. Half an hour for a bathroom, longer for anything structural.

3. You get it in writing

   A written quotation with the job broken into its parts, so you can see what each element costs and take out anything you would rather do yourself. It holds for 30 days.

4. We start

   A 25 per cent deposit on acceptance, invoiced before we order materials. You get a start date once the order is confirmed, not before.

Duddingston, Willowbrae, Liberton, Craigmillar, Portobello, Newington, Marchmont, Musselburgh and Corstorphine, and the surrounding parts of the city.

We stay within that area on purpose. It means we can get back to a job quickly if something needs looking at, which matters more than covering the whole of the Lothians.

How long is a quotation valid?

Thirty days from the date of issue. Quoted material prices are held for the same period.

What deposit do you take?

Twenty five per cent on acceptance, invoiced before materials are ordered.

When is the rest due?

Fourteen days from the completion invoice. Jobs over GBP 15,000 are valued monthly with interim invoices, so you are not asked for everything at the end.

Do you take the rubbish away?

Yes. Waste removal and making good are included unless the quotation says otherwise.

Is the building warrant fee included?

No. Warrant, planning and factor fees are payable to the council or the factor, so they are excluded unless we have said otherwise in writing. We handle the applications and inspections.

What if prices go up before you start?

Material prices are held for 30 days. Anything above a 5 per cent increase is passed on, and only with written notice before the materials are ordered.

What guarantee do I get?

Twelve months on workmanship. Manufacturer warranties are passed through to you.
