Pricing guide
Cost depends mainly on the time needed to diagnose and fix the fault and on which parts are required. The profile includes base on-site labour and a materials allowance, while regional labour and callout fees and any after-hours attendance typically increase the overall charge. Premium fixtures, major components or rare parts are usually additional and can expand the job scope.
Troubleshooting time required
Unclear or complex faults typically take longer to diagnose and often expand the initial on-site time.
Base on-site labour hours
Base hours represent the expected typical time on site before adjustments if the fault proves more involved.
Parts and consumables allowance
The profile usually includes allowances for common parts and consumables, but higher-spec items are treated separately.
Regional labour and callout rates
Labour rates and the callout fee are applied from regional rate settings and affect the overall cost.
Premium or rare components
Specialist fixtures, major components or hard-to-source parts are generally additional and can extend timeframes.
