Are these fixed online prices?
No. They are budgeting ranges. The written quotation is based on the actual material, quantity, access and required controls.
Why is licensed work more expensive?
It can require notification, enclosure, negative pressure, decontamination, specialist supervision, independent analytical support and four-stage clearance.
Does the garage-roof price include a replacement roof?
Only where expressly included. Removal and replacement should be separated clearly in the quotation.
Is scaffolding included?
Not automatically. The quotation should state any scaffold, powered access or fragile-roof access arrangement.
