Will I have one point of contact in design and/or planning stages?

Yes, we provide a single designer who'll discuss your project with you.  You'll also speak with a single office and onsite contact when your project is planned. We also have a national network of Business Development Managers who are the first point of contact for our larger customers.

How long does it take to get a quote?

The speed of our response depends on the complexity of the connection requirement. Quotes requiring a site survey do take longer, reflecting the greater design input and detailed preparation. However, we aim to provide all quotes within a 2-3 week period and our customers remain informed throughout the process.

If requested would someone come out and explain available options to help me decide the best location for the pipework?

Yes, one of our local surveyors or engineers would be happy to discuss your project with you on site.  Your dedicated designer will also be able to discuss any specific requirements that you may have with you over the phone.

How long is my quote valid for?

Standard firm quotations are valid for 60 days. Your quotation letter will specify the exact validity period of your quote.

What should I do if my quote has expired but I want to place an order?

This isn't a problem. Simply call us and we'll be happy to provide a re-quote

I have taken over a project from another company/individual, what will you require in order to send me a 'like for like' quotation?
