Emergency call out charges

[Frank]

It would be against trading standards surely to advertise 24hr call-out if you didn't have a team on call to go and handle anything. Even more so if you turn your mobile off and dont have an office or..... If you like a drink in an evening.

i would just charge to do the job, then again, i dont advertise emergency work. i doubt anybody would ring at 1am? they would wait till the daylight and then its operating hours so why charge an extra fee?

 

You could well charge a fee if you have to cancel another job that you were booked in for that day. How much depends on the job, sometime I would love an excuse to not do council work so any call outs would be free, but if you were booked in for a specific job with a good customer with loads of potential further work, no amount of fees would make it worthwhile canceling.
