Thank you for the opportunity to quote.
If you have an immediate question please contact me, otherwise I'll leave you a few days and will contact you! Simon
Terms and Conditions
Fuel
E95 and E90 petrol contains significant amounts of alcohol which damages small engines, especially 2 strokes. It also contains additives designed for modern fuel injected car engines which are not burnt properly in a mower or brushcutter engine.
To cover these problems I was faced with either adding a machine use surcharge or change fuel to alkylate petrol and charge for it at cost.
I decided to change fuel and be totally transparent in pricing at cost price.
You can either
Obtain fuel for me (and I will delete fuel cost from the quote)
I will obtain fuel (at cost) and leave any residue with you
or
I can obtain fuel and negotiate a reduction in the rnd price for any left over.
For information on alkylate petrol please google Aspen 4T or 2T.
Quote valid for 30 days
Access to Water and Coffee
It is a condition of this quote that you provide coffee on arrival and unlimited access to coll water whilst I am on site. If this is not possible - such as you wont be there, please let me know in advance so I can make alternative arrangements.
Any quote is a fixed price for the work as scheduled. This means that I will not charge you any more than quoted for this work.
If the work takes significantly less time than I have quoted for, the final invoice may be reduced pro-rata.
Materials cost.
Alterations in materials costs are out of my control. Any alteration in material costs will be discussed with you before proceeding.
Deposit.
For gardening a deposit equivelant in value to 5l fuel is required before your order will be accepted
For work with a quote materials value over £100, a deposit to the value of the materials is required on agreement of a start date.
Start date and completion date
The start date or completion date forms part of the accepted quote, however any start date or completion date may have to renegotiated due to circumstances beyond my control i. e. I client weather or material supply issues
