🔁 Regular & Ongoing Work

Ongoing or repeat work is usually priced on a job-by-job basis to ensure fair and transparent pricing.

🧱 Materials & Supplies

Any materials required for your job are charged at cost and simply passed on to you. Where materials cost over £100, an invoice for the materials will be sent before the materials can be bought or the job begins.

🚗 Travel & Fuel Costs

Jobs within 10 miles of Exeter are included. For work outside this area, travel is charged at 50p per mile.

📅 Invoicing for Longer Jobs

For projects that run over more than one week, invoices are issued weekly for work completed. This helps you keep track of costs and supports the smooth running of my small business.

✅ Payment terms

Payment is due on receipt of invoice unless otherwise agreed.
 

✅ Reliable & Friendly – We turn up when we say we will.
✅ Local & Trusted – Based in Exminster, covering Exeter & surrounding villages.
✅ Fully DBS Checked & Insured – Peace of mind for you and your home.
✅ Free Quotes & Advice – Happy to chat about your jobs over a coffee (or tea!).

We’re open Monday to Saturday, with occasional Sunday afternoons available too. Early starts and evening appointments can be arranged to fit around your schedule.

I’m often busy on site, so if I can’t answer straight away, just leave a message – I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

 To help me give you a more accurate price and timescale, it’s useful if you can share:

• A short description of the work you’d like done
   
• Any measurements, photos, or specific requirements
   
• Your preferred timeline
   
• Contact Details including location

I’m often booked ahead, but life (and the Devon weather!) can create last-minute changes. When slots open up, I offer them first to clients who already have work scheduled in.
