What pushes the price up or down

Walk-ups, after-hours emergencies and premium materials raise the bill. Bundling several small jobs into one visit lowers it — one callout covers two or three tasks.

Asking for an invoice doesn't cost extra: our prices already include VAT and a six-month written warranty on labour.

DIY vs pro: when it's worth calling someone

Swapping a washer is DIY. Touching wiring, a gas outlet or a buried drain is not — one mistake costs more than ten handyman visits and can void your home insurance.
