We always try to make our quotations as comprehensive as possible. However, we are sometimes asked to do work which was not envisaged at the time of our quote and which does not form part of a standard transaction. Whenever it becomes apparent to us that this will be the case we will notify you at the earliest possible opportunity. In some cases, these matters will already be covered in your quotation, i.e. in the event that this was discussed and agreed at the time of the quote.

Where these have not already been quoted, if any of the following tasks are required in addition to our basic service we are happy to undertake them for you. We will never undertake extra work without agreeing it with you first. Where charges are not specified please contact our sales department for more information.
