If the job is rebooked to start within a month of the original start date, the cost of the works plus the 75% cancellation fee will be charged. Any job, which is booked and confirmed and not rebooked for a date within a months’ time, will be subject to a 100% of the original, agreed fee. A ‘working day’ means any day apart from a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday. We can work on these days as well, provided it agreed and accepted extra cost.

Attendance on Site
9. We reserve the right to make the decision on the correct number of staff required on-site to carry out the works. It will be an express obligation on the client to provide all assistance that our operatives may reasonably require for carrying out the works.
10. Mk-service & maintenance operatives must receive a site induction upon arrival to site detailing all applicable site Health and Safety and Welfare arrangements. At least 24 hours prior to any initial site attendance, the client must advise of a site contact name and number and the estimated time the induction will take to complete.
11. We will not be liable in any way for any delays or other loss suffered by any party as a result of weather conditions preventing safe access to any areas causing a Health and Safety risk. The client will remain liable for our charges at cost, to include labour, admin, and travel (excluding insurance and memberships) which will be invoiced and must be paid in full before we can return to site to complete the works.
12. Should Mk-service & maintenance operatives be required to carry out any additional tasks, other than that which has been agreed, all extra time incurred will be chargeable at our hourly rates. This will be in addition to any previously quoted price.
13. We will do our best to work to any completion / out times requested by the client, but the client must allow full access for the number of hours required to complete the works on site on the day. If for any reason works cannot be completed in this period, the relevant certificate will only be issued for areas completed.
14. Upon completion of any agreed works, we require a person, designated by the client, to inspect and sign off the work. This signature denotes the satisfactory completion of the work and the person signing will be regarded as having the client’s legal authority to accept the work. If no one is available to sign, then the job will be considered as accepted as satisfactory to the client.
15. Will not be responsible for triggering any type of alarm or fire suppression systems. The client should give any special instructions for deactivation / activation of any alarm systems which may be affected.
16. Our cleaning process is not considered to be sufficiently rigorous to cause any damage to equipment. We therefore will not be held responsible should equipment fail to work upon completion & sign off the works.
17. Where faulty wiring or equipment is discovered during our work, we will advise the Client at the earliest opportunity. To ensure safety the safety of our operatives, these areas may not be service or maintained and there will be no reduction in the contract price payable for the works which will remain payable in full.
18. The Client shall advise Mk-service & maintenance Ltd of any hazards that may be encountered by our operatives whilst working at the Client’s premises. In the event that we or our operatives in our reasonable opinion consider that the premises are unsafe for our operatives to work safely for whatever reason we will have the right to withdraw our operatives and not to complete the works. In that event, the Client will remain liable to pay the agreed contract price in full.
