What the guide does not hide

Assumptions are written into the quotation

Final pricing confirms working hours, access, parking, existing cable assumptions, hardware, who provides door or fire-alarm work, testing, handover and any applicable VAT. That is safer than a cheap headline price that changes after the system is opened.

Questions before you enquire

Common questions

Why are parts shown separately?

The correct parts depend on the existing system, door and chosen design. Itemising them avoids hiding unsuitable hardware inside a generic package price.

Are the guide prices fixed quotes?

No. They are planning figures based on the stated scope. A written quotation confirms labour, hardware, access assumptions and any applicable VAT.

Do you charge for advice before a visit?

Basic triage from the enquiry details and photographs is normally used to decide the next step. Detailed design, surveys or consultancy may be quoted where required.
