  1. Initial video call appointment booking

By making a booking you agree to:

• us using the Stripe payment platform to take your payment details in advance;

• be available to receive the video call that we make to you at that time and date you chose;

• engage fully with us throughout the video call such that we may best attempt to correct your electrical fault;

• tell us / show us as much as possible so that we may correct your electrical fault or provide you with an estimate of cost to correct it;

• consent to us hearing and seeing information during this call;

• recording and storing the video call in line with our responsibilities under the GDPR;

• pay the “initial fee” as advertised where we correct your electrical fault during the video call;

• pay the “initial fee” as advertised where we cannot correct your electrical fault during the video call and you chose for us not to visit you and correct it;

Your payment details are maintained independently of us by Stripe who are an online payment processing service.  We do not store any of your payment details.

The video call we make to you will be conducted by a qualified electrician who we authorise to provide services to you and who is registered with a UK electrical trade body as part of the competent person scheme.

Where we cannot fix the electrical fault during this video call we will provide you with an estimate of the cost of correcting it.  At this point you are free to continue or discontinue with our services to you.  If during the video call we consider that something is dangerous we will clearly state to you what this is. If you chose to discontinue with our services we do not accept any liability for any harm, damage or expense that may arise.  You will be liable for the cost of the video call.

Where you choose to continue to use our services after the video call you agree to pay the estimated cost of fixing the fault.  We will deduct the “initial fee” for the video call from the “total fee” you pay.  We will not take payment from you until we have corrected your electrical fault.

  1. Electrical work at your property

We will agree with you a date and time for us to visit your property.  We will prioritise this visit where we think this is important for you.  This visit will be conducted by a qualified electrician who we authorise to provide services to you and who is registered with a UK electrical trade body as part of the competent person scheme.  The electricians we authorise will show you their photo IDs before entering your property.

The estimated cost is based on what you told us / what we saw during the video call.  We reserve the right to revise this estimate if it later materialises that additional or less work is required.  Where this happens we will provide you with a full transparent account of any variation.  We will be up front with you and let you know of any variation in price before we start any work.  Where the revised price is different from the initial estimate you are free to discontinue with our services and we will just charge you the “initial fee” for the video call.

You can cancel or rearrange our visit to your property at anytime.  You must let us know by letter or email with at least 24 hours’ notice before the earliest time of your visit.  If you do not give us this notice you will need to pay the “initial fee”.  If you cancel you will need to pay the “initial fee”.  Once we have visited and started the job you will no longer be able to cancel it and you will have to pay the “total fee”.  Your statutory rights are not affected.

We will provide you with an earliest and latest time for our visit.  We will endeavour to arrive when we say we will, though some things are outside of our control.  We will keep you informed of any delay.  Rarely we may need to reschedule and we will do this as soon as possible to minimise inconvenience.

Prior to our visit to you please ensure our electrician can access everywhere that they need to and that it is safe to do so, that is, free of household items.  We may not be able to complete the work where a health or safety risk exists. We politely ask that your property is free of tobacco smoke whilst the electrician is at your property.

During our visit we may take longer than we said we would, for example, if we are using materials that you have provided that are not satisfactory.  We may have to stop working if we find things like Asbestos in your property.

We will respect your property and take great care when working there.  Any making good, such as, redecoration or repair is your responsibility, unless we have

been negligent.

  1. Guarantees

We do not provide any guarantee arising from our video call to you.

We will guarantee our work and materials for 12 months from our visit to you. This means that if any problems occur after the completion of the work and they are the result of any faulty workmanship, we will put these right at no further cost to you. Likewise, if any materials we supply are faulty, we will replace them free of charge. We then guarantee any additional work carried out, or additional materials provided, but only until the date that is 12 months from the original visit.

Your statutory rights are not affected.

  1. Payment
