F.A.Q to HomeZone (Warrington Handyman)

How much do you charge?

 

New reduced rates
For smaller jobs, I charge £25.00  per hour minimum 2 hour or a full day for £140

Why reduced rates.

To keep me very competitive during the economic turn down.  

For larger projects which may take one or more days, I will give you an estimate based on our lower daily rate. All materials I supply are charged extra. At the moment, I does not charge VAT.  

 

See bottom of this page to see estimates for a guide to how long a job may take to do.

Does this include the cost of materials?
No. Any materials I supply are extra. Many customers have already bought their own materials, and use us only for labour. However, I do carry a wide selection of commonly needed parts and materials in case you've forgotten anything, so i am often able to just get on with the job. i am equally happy to select and supply the parts and materials you need, but i will have to charge you for this.

Do you give free estimates?
I can give you a good idea of the time needed to do most jobs over the phone. If when i arrive the job looks like it's going to take a lot longer, i will revise the estimate, and if you then decide not to go ahead, i won't charge you anything. For bigger jobs, such as fitting a new kitchen, i will call first to discuss your project with you and give you an estimate.


How quickly can you attend?
All my work is booked in advance, usually a few days ahead. But i can sometimes take on work the same day.

Do you work in the evenings and at the weekends?
Yes. But i charge a premium of 50% for this service.

Will you be on time?
I know your time is valuable, and I know how frustrating it can be when tradesmen are either late or don't turn up at all. I will make every effort to be on time, but I do sometimes get held up in traffic or on a previous job. If for any reason I get delayed by more than 30 minutes, I will call to let you know.

What areas do you cover?
My Handyman Service covers Warrington,Cheshire, and the surrounding area. 

Do you guarantee the work you do?
I take great pride in my work, and I want you to be delighted with the results. If you are not completely satisfied, I will come back and correct it for you.

Are you insured?
Yes £1m of public liability insurance.

How qualified are you?
29 years practical experience in building and construction.

Do you do Gas work?
No. you will need to have a Gas Safe approved gas engineer.

What's the largest job you take on?
I do take on jobs lasting several days, such as kitchen fitting.

How can I pay?
