It's difficult to give a guide to prices. If you can describe the problem or email me pictures it should be possible to tell whether a visit would be worthwhile. The more information I'm given, the better prepared I can be. This will save me time and you money.

Once I've got an idea of the problem I can bring appropriate tools and I should be able to give a good estimate of how long the job will take. If it's likely to be under an hour, it makes sense to do the work at the same time as the on site inspection. There is an additional cost to me (and to the environment) if I have to come back. 

The minimum fee of £40 is for a home visit including the first hour's work. Subsequently, the charge is £20 per hour. If there is a lot to do, I can offer a very competitive £120 day rate. There is no VAT to pay.
