We price each item for the work it needs.
We assess each item and quote for the specific work it needs. We don’t build a high worst-case price into one standard rate, so simpler work isn’t charged as though it were the most complicated. We have more than 1,800 individual prices.
How to pay
For everyday alterations, pay in full at drop-off or pay half then and the balance when you collect.
