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.
*Owing to a small number of late and delayed payments over the years the two year guarantee I offer is only available where the above terms have been met in full.
*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 open to discussing other payment options on an individual basis if necessary.
I prefer payments online and will provide bank details when needed. I can also accept payment from smartphones using the Barclays Pingit app and PayM using my mobile number
