Terms, Conditions & Complaints

 Our Customer Promise

  • To inspect your equipment, normally within 3 working days.
  • To provide an estimate before proceeding with your repair.
  • To complete your repair within 3 working days of receiving spares/parts.
  • To guarantee all repairs for three months from the date of the completed repair. We cannot guarantee other faults which may show similar symptoms.

 

Conditions of service

  • A non-refundable inspection fee is required before work commences or an appointment for a home visit is made. This fee is deductible from the final invoice.
    Current fees are from £72.00 in-home, £45.00 in-workshop.
  • The balance of the final invoice will be required when accepting an estimate, or upon collection from the workshop where parts were not required. Unfortunately, due to the nature of our work, we are unable to provide fixed price quotations. It may not be possible to diagnose all faulty parts until one or more has been replaced therefore an estimate could vary. In these circumstances, this will be explained prior to work commencing.
  • Modern electronic equipment is complex and faults are not always easy to diagnose. We cannot guarantee that the failure of one component will not have damaged other parts, the symptoms of which will not become apparent until the first component has been replaced.
  • Electronically stored data, such as user names, passwords, application settings, pictures, files and any other media may be lost as a result of a repair. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that any such media is backed up prior to the repair taking place. We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for data lost during a repair.
  • Intermittent faults can cause delays. Thank you for your patience.
  • We reserve the right to refuse a unit before and/or during a repair due to age, safety, previously attempted repairs, unavailability of spare parts, software or technical information or the possibility of an uneconomical conclusion.
  • Equipment left uncollected 30 days after notification of completion or an estimate will be scrapped or sold to defray costs.
