1. Fixed Price Appliance Repairs
- 1.1. Our fixed price repair charge covers you against the cost of the service engineers call out, diagnostics & labour no matter how long the engineer is there or for how many visits it takes him to repair that fault. This charge also covers any parts if required with a total repair limit of £250 inc VAT. The focus of the repair is based on the description of the fault we have been given. The service is for the repair of a single fault entered in the “Fault Description” on the booking form, or provided over the phone.
- 1.2. If the repair is above the repair limit as stated in 1.1 you will receive a quote and will be charged separately for parts, call out and labour. If you decide not to proceed with the repair then we we will arrange to refund you the fixed price fee minus the call out / administration charge of £79.00 inc VAT.
- 1.3. We aim to repair most domestic appliances, but the manufacturer, appliance type, model and age will have a major influence on whether we can promptly obtain replacement part(s) and ultimately complete the repair. It should also be noted that once a specific appliance is no longer made the manufacturer will only stock replacement parts for a given period.
- 1.4. We require payment before the engineer’s first visit by Debit/Credit Card.
- 1.5. The available date shown or given when making your booking is a preferred date and not guaranteed. You will subsequently receive a call from our engineer to confirm your specific appointment date and time normally within 48 working hours and is subject to engineer availability in your area. Our engineer will call out on the agreed date and time to carry out the repair to your appliance. If at the time of the call out any required part(s) are unavailable our service engineer will usually order the part(s) within 1-2 working day of the call out. The item(s) will then be delivered to us within 2 working days of the order being placed. If the part(s) are not in stock this can take anything from 3 working days with the norm being around 10 working days. It should be noted that unfortunately there are a handful of manufacturers whose parts are not easily sourced and in some cases these have to be obtained from abroad which will result in a delay in completing the repair. As soon as the part(s) are available we will contact you to arrange a new appointment date to complete the repair.
- 1.6. We do our utmost to attend on the date and time agreed with you at the time of booking, this includes bookings made via our website. However occasionally may be unable to attend to the aforementioned. Should this happen, we will offer to reschedule the appointment date and time with you. If one of our ASG Approved Network Engineers (Local Engineer) is attending to your property then they may contact you directly.
