Estimates

Estimates are normally provided free of charge. Smaller jobs of up to a day in duration will normally be estimated over the telephone. Larger jobs may require a visit to enable an estimate to be provided.

50plus Handyman provides 'fixed price' estimates based on prices listed in 'The Property Makeover Price Guide, published by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. The price is fixed with the exception of: (i) any changes you ask for during the course of the works and (ii) any untoward items we find that could not reasonably be ascertained before the work began. If we cannot provided a fixed price we will provide an estimate on a time and material basis, which means that you pay for our time on an hourly basis (for each person employed on the project) and for any material we use during the course of the works.
