Our core rates
For work charged by time rather than a fixed price.
No VAT to add – we’re not VAT-registered. Hourly rates are for jobs up to half a day, labour only, per tradesperson. Materials are charged at cost plus 12% unless stated. Our prices only go up to cover genuine cost increases, reviewed once a year in April. The £45 call-out covers up to the first hour, then £32 an hour in 30-minute blocks. Fixed prices include the call-out; the £45 minimum applies to hourly work. Standard hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays are +50% on all labour. For hourly work the minimum is £70; an out-of-hours fixed-price job is the fixed price plus 50%. Travel is free within 15 miles of Newcastle upon Tyne; beyond that it is 55p a mile for the extra distance, confirmed before we come. Draft pricing – not yet confirmed
How bigger jobs are priced
If we know a job will take more than half a day, we’ll give you a written fixed price before we start. If a small job or call-out runs over, we’ll stop and check with you first, so you can choose whether we carry on at the hourly rate or give you a fixed price for the rest.
Fixed prices come after a free quote visit (or from clear photos), include materials and are valid for 30 days. A fixed price covers the quoted scope only. If we find extra work or a hidden problem, we photograph it, price it in writing and agree it with you before we go ahead. Draft pricing – not yet confirmed
