Visiting you
First service
If your product includes a first service it is usually carried out in the first 42 days of you taking out the product or changing address. If we have already carried out a first service or an annual service at your address in the last twelve months, we will not carry out a first service – even if you have just moved in. Instead you will receive an annual service.
At the first service our engineer will check that your fuse board is on our approved list does not have any pre-existing faults.
If we find it’s not on the approved list or it has a pre-existing fault, we will either:
• Tell you what needs to be done to fix it – and how much it will cost
• Offer you a different product or level of cover
Annual service
We will send you or your authorised contact an email, letter, text message or call to arrange your annual service. We will try to contact on three occasions. If we do not hear back from you after the third time or you are not at the property when our engineer visits, we will not try again and will not refund the cost of the missed annual service.
You can still contact us at any time to book it. Your annual service may be more, or less, than 12 months after your last service visit.
During the visit, our engineer will fill in a checklist that shows you exactly what we’ve looked at. If we find a problem or fault that needs to be fixed, we will inform you at the time.
If your membership:
• If your property has had repairs completed you may be subject to cancellation fees when cancelling the subscription.
• Does not include materials, our engineer may give you a quote to have the work completed.
Tenants or letting agents arranging visits
Your tenants or your letting agents can call us directly to arrange any engineer’s visit.
Our engineers
Normally, we will send a NSK Complete engineer to carry out the work. In some cases, we may send a suitably qualified contractor instead.
Making repairs
We will only cover the level of material cost stated in your agreement for example of £100 per quarter this will not be carried forward. If you go over the amount of agree material cost it will be sent to you as a quote before any repairs take place. Note that you will not be charged for labour costs under the subscription as long as it falls within the guidelines set out in the terms and conditions.
If the fault is related to one we have fixed for you in the last twelve months, then you we not have to pay an additional excess or fixed fee. Our engineer will use their expert judgement to decide whether a fault is related to an earlier fault or not.
Safety advice
From time to time, we may tell you that your electrical services, appliance or system needs permanent repairs or improvements that aren’t covered by your agreement to keep working safely. For example, if your appliance is causing disturbance to make a breaker trip. If you do not follow this advice, it will affect certain parts of your maintenance agreement – but your agreement will keep running until you or we change or cancel it.
Getting access and making good
Labour is included as long as your subscribed before any work commended. Making good and parts/materials are not included.
We will not be responsible for repairing any pre-existing damage, nor will we replace or restore the original surface or coverings, for example, tiles, floor coverings, decoration, grass or plants.
Replacement parts
We will try to get parts from the original manufacturer or our approved suppliers. We will try to provide replacements with similar functionality but not necessarily the same features or an identical make and model or type of fitting. For example, we may replace a specific design of light fitting with a standard one from our range or replace electrical fittings with our nearest white, brass or chrome version. Or you can supply the engineer with a replacement part that you have bought yourself (subject to labour costs), that we approve, but we will only accept responsibility for
our workmanship.
If we are unable to get hold of the parts we may need to arrange a solution for an alternative, which could incur additional costs. If we have warned you that it might be difficult to find replacement parts, we will do what we can, within reason, to repair it.
Twelve month guarantee
We guarantee to repair or replace any faulty parts we have supplied, or fix any faulty work that we have done for twelve months from the date that we did the work.
