Rates you can read before you call
Most contractors keep pricing vague until you are committed. We publish our indicative London rates for all ten trades so you know the shape of the cost before the engineer is on the way. Every job is still confirmed with a written quotation before work proceeds.

“—” indicates planned work quoted as a fixed-price programme rather than attended out-of-hours. The first hour of attendance is included in the call-out charge; time thereafter is billed in half-hour increments.
