ALL TOILET REPAIRS HAVE A £50 EXCESS

Price increase information:

No claims in your first year? We’ve capped the second year price for you at just 5%. If you’ve made a claim, your renewal will be higher than 5% but still lower than renewal quotes from national companies. We do this to keep prices as low as possible for everyone, but wherever we can, we make sure that renewal prices are lower than our competitors’.

YOUR RENEWAL PRICE IS BASED ON TWO THINGS ONLY:

  1. The number of claims – we look at how many issues we’ve had to fix in the last year. The fewer claims you have, the lower the increase will be.
  2. Inflation – the cost of labour and parts goes up with inflation. We therefore need to increase our prices in line with this. The table below shows renewal prices for customers that have renewed recently.

Number of callouts
The number of callouts to any one property is capped at QTY: 3. Per month

Percentage price increase
The price increase of your yearly renewal is capped at 90%. You will be notified of any price increase to your payment plan 7 days before the increase comes into effect.

Your current boiler’s age & condition
Our Homecare packages are based on a working, efficient boiler that falls within the recommended age. Upon inspection of your current boiler we may recommend that it is replaced, based on the following:

Your boiler is 15-20 yrs old – We are able to provide Homecare cover. However, we strongly recommend replacement of your current boiler, as it will soon be beyond economical repair and parts may become unavailable

Your boiler is 12-15 yrs old – We are able to provide Homecare cover on your current boiler. However, we would recommend replacement in the next 12 months due to its age

Boiler is 1-12 yrs old – We are able to provide Homecare cover on your current boiler and it falls within our recommended age range

Should you require a new boiler, we can provide a competitive quotation for you on-site, based on our recommendations and the size of your property etc.

Payment:

A payment request will be sent 48h within the submission of your request form, please kindly pay via this link or via BACS payment. Please set up a direct debit to carry out monthly payments as per the agreed charge according to your desired plan, corresponding with the date on your request form (i.e if the request form was submitted on the 1st, the direct debit should also ensure payments are made on the 1st of the next month and thereafter) Failure to make payment within 24h of the specific date according to your request form will result in termination of the care plan held with Selwyn Plumbing and Heating, and any works requested outside of this window will be charged with full pricing structure for both parts and labour.

Contact will be made with the stated policy holder on your request form, for any attendances to the stated address. The attendance date/time will be agreed to within a 2h window, and any attending engineers will allow for a 30min wait period starting at their time of arrival. If access to the stated address is not granted within the 30min wait period, a charge of £75.00+VAT per half hour (30 minutes) will be applied to the call out, starting from minute 0 (zero).

Condemnation of a Gas system:

On occasions, it may be deemed necessary to condemn a gas system of a property should the attending engineer deem it unsafe for usage.

Should this be the case, you will be informed verbally, and via email, and notified why this decision has been made. Should you bypass any controls put into place by an attending engineer after a condemnation has been made, you will be solely liable for any injury, damage to property, or death caused by using said gas installation.
