Pricing
How pricing works
Last updated
Every project is quoted in writing before any work starts. The price, what it covers and when each payment is due are as set out in your quote.

Type your full nameI accept this quote and its project termsEvery project is quoted
We price each project on its own, once we understand what you need. Your quote lists every line of work, the total, the payment stages and the date until which it is valid.
You accept a quote online, by typing your name and ticking a box, and we both get a PDF copy. Nothing is billed before you accept.
Fixed lines and estimate lines
Fixed lines stay at the quoted price. Lines that depend on usage, such as storage or footage length, are marked as estimates.
- Colour gradeFixed
- Delivery storageBilled on actual useEstimate
Estimates are billed at the quoted rate on what is actually used. If an estimate looks set to run more than 10% over, we check with you before going further.
Deposits and invoices
If your quote asks for a deposit, we invoice it when you accept, and work starts once it reaches us. The rest is invoiced as set out in your quote, usually on delivery.
Changes in scope come as change orders: separate quotes you accept the same way. Your final invoice covers every quote you accepted, with actual use for the estimate lines, less any deposit. Invoices are due as set out in your quote.
