No callout fee when you go ahead with the job. If you decide not to go ahead after the engineer has arrived, a £49 assessment fee covers the visit. Otherwise you pay for the job itself in Durham, at the price the engineer confirms with you before starting.

No. Prices start from £39 for a lockout wherever you are in the area, and there is no callout fee when you go ahead with the job.
