Response times are for a standard booking, not an emergency. We do not run a 24-hour emergency service, and we would rather say that plainly than take the job and turn up late.
What people ask before booking
Mostly about money, which is fair.
Yes, provided the job is what we saw. If we open something up and find a genuine surprise — rot behind a panel, wiring that is not to standard — we stop, explain it, and give you a revised price before continuing. You can say no at that point and only pay the call-out.
Travel and the first half hour on site. If you go ahead with the work it comes off the total, so it only really costs you anything if you decide not to proceed.
At cost, with the receipt attached to your invoice. We do not add a markup on materials, because it makes the quote impossible for you to sanity check.
Sockets, switches, light fittings and anything else that falls under Part P, which we are certified for. Consumer units and full rewires we refer to a full-time electrician rather than pretending.
Usually next day in central and north Leeds, two to three days further out. We are not an emergency service and will say so rather than take a booking we cannot honour.
