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. 

Yes - all of our tradespeople are fully insured.

We've got great customer service, and our responsive support team are at hand to help if any issues come up during your booking.

Jefferson continues to do a fantastic job! He has done a great job jet washing my driveway and other paved areas. They have never looked so clean! He has meticulously cleared and weeded the rest of the garden. I can't wait until we're ready for planting!
