Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Best regards, the boilerPRO Team.
All quoted costs are based on the specification & discussions to date. Any changes to the specification, materials used or requested, will be invoiced accordingly. These changes may also impact on timescale. Where possible, we will seek approval on any significant charges or changes in cost.
How we charge?
boilerPRO charges for labour on an hourly rate basis. There is a one hour minimum charge on all call-outs to a property. Diagnosis of a repair, or anything that requires a tool from a toolbox, is deemed to be considered as “starting work” and is chargeable.
After the first hour, we invoice based on time, in 30-minute increments. Therefore, if our time on site is 1 hour 10 minutes, we will charge for 1.5 hours.
Extra works on top of a fixed price service;
Where we are called to carry out a fixed-price service, for example, a boiler service, any additional work that may be required will automatically be chargeable under our hourly rates, at a 30min minimum additional charge and so on.
Additional charges
On top of labour, additional charges are applied for sundries (minor materials used i.e silicone, adhesives etc), parts/materials and for parking, ULEZ and congestion where applicable.
Additional note; We will not be able to provide a 'proof of purchase' from our suppliers, either for warranty claim purposes, and/or pricing justification. Our invoice to you, serves as a proof of purchase as far as the manufacturer is concerned.
Unsuccessful Repairs
Where we may be called to a breakdown or repair of which we cannot complete, or requires the expertise of another trade or service, our one-hour minimum charge will still apply. For example; If we are called to a central heating issue, and diagnose the fault to be electrical, and requiring a qualified electrician, we may be able to facilitate in arrange that, but our visit and diagnosis to this point is chargeable at hour hourly rate, as one-hour minimum.
The same applies to a visit where-by we 'try' to fix something, but it is not fixable. Our minimum charge still applies.
All prices exclude VAT of 20% unless otherwise stated.
Charges Disputes & Liabilities
Any concerns over charges should be made whilst our engineer is on site. If the engineer cannot provide resolve to the situation, he/she should contact the office to speak to a manager. If you have any concerns about the charges applied, after the engineer has left, then these should be reported within 24hrs.
Any dissatisfaction with the workmanship received, should be reported immediately for the purposes of clarity and effective resolve.
Due to the nature of our work, the complexity and many variables we face, we cannot guarantee a result 100% of the time. We may find a secondary issue, and even working within an appliance can cause disruption to other parts. We cannot be liable for all these eventualities, and ask for your consideration of this when engaging in our services.
Overdue Payments & Further Charges
All payments are due on completion of works i.e. while we are in your home or business.
If a payment is not made within a 7-days, we reserve the right to pass on the debt to our debt-recovery company (Athena Collections - www.athenacollections.co.uk)
Any invoices passed to the debt collection company, will incur an immediate charge of 10%+VAT (min £30.00+VAT)
We reserve the right to apply interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate per annum, calculated on a daily basis on any ledger account or individual invoice unpaid after thirty days from the date of the invoice date. Alternatively, at our discretion we may decide to apply the provisions of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
All outstanding invoices subject to the above will be immediately due and payable, regardless of the date of the invoice. In addition, you will be liable to pay us any costs arising in the pursuance of recovery of overdue invoices, howsoever incurred.
Client Accounts & Business-to-Business arrangements
Payments may be subject to special payment terms, up-to but not exceeding 30-day payment terms and should be made by BACS.
Deposit Payments
We require a 50% deposit payable by BACS or Debit/Credit Card at least 48 hours before a Project/Installation commences, and the balance, including any variations or extras, is due on the day of satisfactory completion.
Our Guarantee and Warranties
All work undertaken comes with a 1-year workmanship guarantee (12 months). Our guarantee covers our workmanship and installation services, and this will include pipework and connections. Appliances, peripherals, sanitary-ware, furniture, water systems, and boilers etc. are all subject to their own manufacturer’s warranty.
Where a major appliance may fail during its warranty period, and dependent on further symptoms and information, we may refer you to the manufacturer for a repair or replacement. Please note, in the case of a boiler warranty, this will often be subject to regular servicing and water condition checks.
Please note: It is your responsibility to maintain your manufacturer's warranty.
Should boilerPRO be called to a repair under warranty, and the repair required is due to a part or appliance that is faulty, we will arrange for an exchange item to be sourced, but labour charges will still apply. This is dependent whether the part was supplied by ourselves in the first instance and is indeed under it’s own warranty period.
Smart thermostats will be configured with one device during installation. No ongoing technical support will be offered on these devices. Often such devices fail due to connectivity issues and it is best to contact the manufacturer or technical helpline for further assistance and troubleshooting
