spent by our representative doing the work. It will include all
reasonable time spent in obtaining materials. Parts and materials
supplied by us will be charged at the trade price plus 30% handling
charge.
2. Collecting material for a job: We try to minimise
collection of materials by carrying everyday stock items. If we do need
to collect materials we will always try to keep the time to a minimum.
If the time is likely to be more than 45 minutes you will be informed
before our representative leaves the job. Only one person will collect
parts at a time.

and materials +VAT. The price will be fixed but manifest errors shall be
exempted. Quotes may need to be revised if you change the scope of the
work, if there is an increase in the price of materials, or if further
works turn out to be needed to do the work. If it is impossible for us
to do the work for the previously quoted fixed price, we will give you a
free quote for the work so that you can choose to use us or not. If you
decline the quote there will be no charges payable by you.

What our clients say...
H2 Plumbing did a great job for us recently. We were looking at replacing our gas boiler - they visited on the same day as I called and got a quote that afternoon. Once we agreed with the work to be done, they turned up the very next day and started the job. It was going to be a two day job but we had heating and hot water after day one. They did work hard as the old boiler really was in a tight space but they were very professional and really nice guys. Called the office twice and no problem with the service I got from them. In all I am very happy with H2 (5 star) and from what friends have said about BG, I am glad that H2 have removed the stress of worrying.
