Price
We will tell you how much you will be charged before we do any work. Minimum call out charge includes one hour labour and VAT and excludes parts and materials. We provide free quotations including a free visit of a property however you will be charged a call out fee for any investigative work for example a central heating fault or tracing a leak source.
We will charge you only for a time our engineers have spent solving your problem. We will not charge you for a travelling time, or for any time we spend collecting day-to-day parts (they carry most of the parts in their vans).
Charges
After we have diagnosed and solved your immediate problem you will receive an invoice which you have 31 days to pay by a bank transfer, cheque or cash. If substantial work is required we may request a deposit for materials only.
Uppeprlumbers' engineers do not overcharge or waste time. Any over payment will be refunded immediately, and steps taken to prevent it happening in future.
Quotations and estimates
