We cannot accept requests for visits where you have not accepted the possibility of charges.
You must also confirm that the product can be isolated from supplies, that the Technician can park legally in the location (in case of permit parking that this must be made available to the Technician) and that you (or your representative) are over 18 and will be present for the duration of the visit.

Our Technician will take reasonable care when isolating your supplies in your home however in the unfortunate event that these components become damaged during normal use we will not accept liability.
