Terms and Conditions


In order to provide a comprehensive service, a house visit will occur prior to any works undertaken. This is helps us understand exactly what is required and allows us to prepare an accurate quote for any potential work. This visit is obviously free.

Please read through the small print below, this is designed to allow both you and us to establish exactly what the job entails. We are a small, local company that wishes to create friendly and long-term relationships with our customers through swift, competitve, and quality service.


Fitting


Position of fittings, lighting points, switches etc if not provided for in the quotation or an associated drawing are to be determined and agreed before work is commenced and any changes required therein shall be notified by the customer to Congresbury Electrical in writing in sufficient time not to impede the progress of the work. Any extra work necessary to meet such changes will be chargeable to the customer in addition to the quoted price.
 

Tests: Installation work will be tested during progress, and also upon completion for insulation resistance, earthing and continuity. These tests comply with the current edition of the IEE Regulations for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Any other tests required by the customer will be charged for as an extra to the quoted price unless such tests are definitely specified and included in the quotation


Making Good


Although every care and attention will be taken by Congresbury Electrical whilst carrying out work on-site, we do not accept responsibility, or remain liable, for damage to plaster work, decorations, wallpaper, carpets, flooring or any other on-site structural feature. Inspection and access holes, the cutting of wiring channels, drilling and other works made to accommodate installations will be made good to the best of our ability, but we are not carpenters, plasters, carpet layers etc. Customers should be aware of this and make their own arrangements to return the property to a permanently finished and decorated state.
