TIME CALCULATION
To ensure that we calculate the time spent on your job accurately, we run GPS in all of our vehicles. Our labour charges apply from the time that the tradesperson arrives on site until they leave, including the time taken to document your job. If we are picking up gear required for your job we will start charging you from the time we arrive at our suppliers.

You will be charged for any parts and consumables used for your job, plus any applicable delivery fees. Most standard items are stocked in our vehicles. If we require sourcing parts specific to your job, you will be charged for the time taken to source these items.

Please note that we do not install customer-supplied products or materials, unless by specific previous arrangement with company management. In such instances, the Master Plumbers Guarantee will not apply.

Engaging Mainly Gas & Plumbing for any job is subject to customer acceptance of our terms and conditions. Please contact us for further information.
