Frequently asked questions

You pay a minimum one hour callout charge for a manhole repair or replacement job.

If it's a repair job, the tradesperson will let you know whether your manhole can be repaired once they've investigated the issue. If a repair isn't possible, you'll only pay the callout charge. The tradesperson will advise on the next steps, and may suggest a replacement instead of a repair.

If your repair or replacement job takes more than one hour, you’ll be charged for the additional time in 30 min increments (plus the cost of any materials). 

If you need a new manhole cover or frame, your tradesperson will source one locally and tell you the estimated cost. With your approval, they'll buy it and add the cost to your bill. Or you can supply your own replacement manhole if you prefer.

There's no hassle with cash - we accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payment cards.

Very pleased with the electrician, he diagnosed the problem and disconnected the extractor fans in the bedrooms which was causing a lot of uncessary noise.

Alif was very good and professional. Came within the booked time slot and did a thorough check on my boiler. Also gave tips on how to look after it as well. I’ll be using him every year for my service and will request him if anything goes wrong with my boiler.

The job was to disconnect the old dishwasher and plumb in the new one. He did it efficiently, arriving on time and taking away all the packaging, and disposed of the old machine too. I'd definitely recommend this servuce
