If later there is something not quite right, a bump or a dip, would you
expect to pay for the rectification or have it done free?

As a matter of interest, do you work for yourself or run a business? With
all due respect I suggest not, otherwise the 'hiddens' would be known to
you.

As an example, when I moved into my second and bigger factory, still only a
nattygramme bigger than a Starter Unit, I did the exercise of county up the
'dead money'. Outgoings before I switched a light on, had staff through the
door, switched the heating on. Things such as rent. Rates. Insurance.
Telephone rental standing charge. Gas standing charge. Electric standing
charge. Water Rates standing charge. All those things that HAVE to be paid
whether working or not. Sunday. Christmas Day. New Years Day Bank Holidays
etc etc etc.

:-((

They have to be taken into account when quoting charges.

Thought you might be interested.

Thanks. I will raise all those points, as the quotation I have contains
very little detail. For that kind of money I would expect a top quality
job, with some sort of guarantee.
