Services & pricing

Tell me what is giving you trouble. I’ll help you get it working better.

You do not need to diagnose the problem or know the technical terms. Describe what is happening, what you want to change, or what you need installed. I will help identify the next step and confirm the price before work begins.

Like-for-like fixture work and other tasks are accepted only when legally permitted and appropriate for the site.

Not sure where to start?

Tell me what is not working the way it should.

You do not need to know the cause. Describe the problem in your own words. Photos and model numbers are helpful when available, but they are not required for the first conversation.
