Terms of Business:
*Assessments and Repairs on site are charged at £80 for the first hour and £40 per hour thereafter plus travelling costs of 50 pence per mile and material costs.
*On full restoration projects I would prefer 50% of the agreed amount to be paid before work begins and the balance on completion. However I do understand that some might find this difficult to budget for and if this is the case I will accept 1/3 payment on delivery of your pianola to my workshop and prior to work commencing.
*1/3 at the halfway point.
*1/3 on completion of all agreed work.
*To help cashflow and cover increasingly expensive material costs I am unable to undertake commissions with a value greater than £500 unless these terms are strictly adhered to. I am willing to discuss other payment options on an individual basis if necessary.
*I prefer payment online and will provide details when needed. I can also accept payments from smartphones using the Barclays Pingit app to my mobile number 07801 859162.
