                           iii.   any call outs after the expiry of the warranty period will be subject to a call out charge.

3.11 If, when we commence Work, we find that there is a problem which was not reasonably apparent on survey or we find dangerous material such as asbestos, we reserve the right to cancel, suspend or increase the price of the Works. If we cannot carry out the Work for reasons outside of your control, you will not be charged. If you do not provide us with reasonable access or you suspend or cancel the Work, we may suffer additional costs and may recharge you for these and for any work carried out.

3.12 We will carry out the work in conformity with this contract and will take reasonable care in carrying out the Work but we do not accept liability for any damage to decorations, walls, floors or the like, which is not reasonably avoidable in carrying out the Work. We will make good any holes but will not re-decorate, re-finish or re-lay flooring or floor covering. Boxing in of pipework is not included unless specifically set out in the Quotation. You should therefore be aware that minor redecoration may be required after the Works, which is not included in the Quotation price. We will notify Building Control or Gas Safe of your installation as appropriate following completion.

 3.13 If, when we commence Work we find that your main incoming gas pressure is outside of the parameters of the manufacturer’s instructions for the appliance we are installing / working on, or it presents an unsafe situation we may need to upgrade your gas pipework which may not have been included in the initial quotation. Works in this case are mandatory, in line with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (GSIUR), to ensure a fully safe installation and will be charged accordingly. We will make you aware of any additional Works and their cost before we proceed with them but please be advised that if you reject these works you will be liable for payment in full of our original quote and we may not be able to complete Works and/or leave your gas appliance(s) live/commissioned. We may have to cap off the incoming gas supply until the aforementioned works have been done.

 3.14 All work (where applicable) carried out by us will be in accordance with Part L  (Conservation of fuel and power) Building Regulations.

 3.15 System change notice – Forming part of our terms and conditions (where applicable).

 Changing a central heating system from a standard open vented system to a combination boiler with a sealed system is a very positive and often unavoidable upgrade. Combination boilers can provide instant hot water and are generally more efficient.

However, we do need you to be aware that when we fit the new combination boiler, the system has to be pressurised. If there is old pipework or radiators in place, this pressurisation can sometimes cause an issue and corroded pipework, radiators, or ball valves etc may leak or become defective. You will note that from our terms and conditions that we do not take responsibility for any problems which arise due to issues with the integrity or suitability of the existing system to which the new boiler is connected.

 We can replace pipework or radiators if required but any cost related to this has not been included in the quote at the present time. By instructing us to work for you, you are confirming that you understand the above and agree that we may commence work.

 4.6  Whilst we may provide guidance to you in respect of the process by which you can apply for any cashback offers available to you, we are not responsible for the success or failure of such application, and the success or failure of your application does not affect your obligation to make payment to us for the goods and services provided, nor can we delay receiving payment to the date at which you may receive any such cashback.

 4.7 We make no guarantee that any RHI payments or other government sponsored payments or grants will be either accessible to you or will amount to any specific value. We are not in a qualified position to be able to provide you with any guarantees or promises as to the extent of any payments or grants and you need to separately retain the services of a qualified assessor for this purpose. You will, at all times remain liable for making payment in full for the Work and we cannot make any assurances that you will receive any funds towards such payment/s from any source.

4.8 Once we have accepted your order and we have received the agreed advance or deposit payment due in cleared funds, we will agree with you a date for the Work to be carried out within normal business hours. We will endeavour to carry out the Work on the agreed date but this may be subject to change and we shall not be liable in any way for any delay or any losses whatsoever arising as a result.

By accepting such an offer, you are accepting that the company decision in respect of discounts nd refunds is final.
