If the scope of the work is clearly
definable at the start of a job, clients may choose a fixed price (examples below)
before the start of the job. Otherwise a variable time based rate, perhaps with a
pre-determined maximum, will apply.
The variable rate is £40 an hour
for workshop based jobs or £50 an hour for work undertaken at the client's
premises. These rates will be reduced by 10% for
invoices settled in full within 7 days. Time is billed in and rounded
to 6 minute
increments and a minimum of one hour is charged except for remote support.
A fee only becomes
payable if a resolution to your problem is delivered.
Travel beyond
10 miles is
charged at 45p per mile. Also included with each workshop based job is
30 minutes to deliver, setup and demonstrate the PC with the problem
resolved (60 minutes for a new computer
delivery).
