3. Orders

3.1.  The majority of our work is domestic and commercial electrical work, carried out with the provision of a quote or estimate.

3.2.  We accept orders for Electrical Services via telephone, email or text message.

3.3.  Once work has been ordered by you and accepted by us, you and we will enter a contract (“Agreement”), which will incorporate, and be subject to, these Terms and Conditions.

4. Estimates and Quotes

4.1.  Any estimate (verbal or written) will be given as an indication only of the typical cost of works and will not form any basis of a formal contract between New Generation Electrics and the customer.

4.2.  Estimated times and costs are given in good faith and assume the existing installation is in a satisfactory condition, meeting the minimum requirements of BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations. Any works required to bring the relevant parts of the installation up to standard will be at additional cost, however this will be brought to your attention as soon as identified.

4.3.  Should a fixed price quotation be requested, a pre-work survey of your electrical installation may be necessary, in order to ascertain the condition of the existing installation. This may incur a charge.

4.4.  Any quotation or estimate is based on a non-destructive survey and assumes that the existing electrical installation meets the minimum requirements of BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations and has a supply present. Should we identify additional work that is required to bring the installation up to the relevant standards, we will bring this to your attention and provide you with an estimate/quote to complete any remedial work.

4.5.  You may accept an estimate or quotation by signing and dating a copy of it and returning it to us within 21 days. When this has been returned and the deposit has been paid (if applicable), a legally binding contract will be created for us to provide the electrical services and for you to pay for them.

4.6.  If you wish to change your order after accepting the estimate/quotation, please contact us and we will tell you whether or not the change can be accommodated, along with any changes to the fees payable as a result. If we cannot accommodate the changes or the changes to the fees or other matters are not acceptable to you, you may cancel in accordance with our cancellation policy.

4.7.  Where a breakdown of the works into component parts is provided, the estimated/quoted costs of each component will take into consideration an overlap of workings and the efficient use of time. These costs will only be applicable if the entire works are carried out in the time frame originally discussed. Where a customer decides to only carry out some of the works or decides to split the work over a different time frame a new estimate/quotation will be necessary.

4.8.  Where works include the replacement of accessories, we will itemise those fittings visible during the survey. No liability can be accepted for any additional accessories which are found subsequently, for example, following the moving of furniture. These will be charged as extras and work may need to be carried out at a later stage if such items need to be ordered.

5. Fees and Payment

5.1.  Our standard hourly rate will be charged at:

£85 plus VAT for the first hour.

£65 plus VAT per hour, or part of, thereafter: electrician (approved/experienced) and electrician (1st year qualified).

5.6.  An estimate/ quotation will include the price payable for the electrical services and for the estimated products required.

5.7.  We will where reasonably possible use only the products (and quantities of products) set out in the order, however if additional products are required, we will adjust the final fee to reflect this.  We will keep any increases to a necessary minimum, keep you informed at all times, and will not proceed without your agreement.

5.8.  If the price of products or services increases during the period between your acceptance of a quotation and the start date, we will inform you of the increase and of any difference in the final fee.  If You do not wish to accept the increase, you may cancel and receive a full refund of all sums paid including, where applicable, the deposit.

5.9.  Any faults found during testing and inspection, which require immediate or urgent rectification, must be made safe prior to that circuit being reconnected. Any costs for such work will be in addition to any previously quoted/estimated figure. Such issues will be brought to the customer’s attention as soon as practicable.

6. Health and Safety

6.1.  The health and safety of customers and employees is taken extremely seriously and therefore work is carried out in accordance with the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974, the Electricity at Work Act 1989, BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations and any other relevant legislation in force at the time of the works.

6.2.  Before commencing work, we will carry out a brief visual risk assessment and inform you of any concerns. If any risks are unable to be addressed immediately, work may need to be postponed until rectified. Similarly, if any risks become apparent during the course of the work, these will need to be resolved before work continues.

6.3.  In order to keep children and pets safe, they should be kept away from the work area and supervised at all times whilst work is carried out within the property.

6.4.  If the presence of asbestos is suspected/known within the property, please bring this to our attention at the earliest opportunity. If asbestos is suspected whilst work is being carried out, work will be suspended and tests must be carried out by a specialist contractor to ascertain if this is the case. Once confirmation is received that either asbestos is not present, or has been removed, work can resume. The costs of testing for asbestos, and any additional work required for removal by specialist contractors shall be borne by the customer.

6.5.  New Generation Electrics hold both public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance. Please contact us if you require further details.

7. Electrical Services

7.1.  All electrical installation work will comply with BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations and applicable Building Regulations in force at the time of the works.

7.2.  We will ensure that the Electrical Services are performed with reasonable care and skill and to a reasonable standard which is consistent with best trade practice. We comply with all relevant codes of practice.

7.3.  It is the customer’s responsibility to obtain any relevant consents, licences or other permissions needed from any third parties such as landlords, planning authorities, local authorities or similar. These must be obtained before the electrical services commence.

7.4.  We will provide the electrical services in accordance with the order / specification set out in the accepted estimate/quotation (as may be amended by agreement between you and us from time to time). We may provide sketches, plans, diagrams or similar documents in advance of the work.  Any such material is intended for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to provide an exact specification nor to guarantee specific results.

7.5.  We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the products we use match those chosen by you and are consistent throughout the Property (or relevant parts of the Property). There may be slight variations to the same Products as a result of differences between photographs, catalogues and other materials, and the Products themselves, or as a result of minor technical changes which will not impact your use of the Product in question. We will, on request, provide a sample of the relevant product, however this may incur a charge.

7.6.  It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure continuous and unhindered access to the site at the agreed times. Where this is not provided, we reserve the right to charge for any additional time or visits required to complete the work.

7.7.  You may either give us a set of keys to the Property or be present at the agreed times to give us access.  All keys will be kept safely and securely at all times.

7.8.  Every effort will be made to undertake installation work in a clean and tidy manner, using dust sheets and vacuuming as necessary. However, please be aware that some additional vacuuming and cleaning down of surfaces should be expected afterwards.

7.9.  Any equipment, or furnishings susceptible to damage from dust and items of sentimental/monetary value should be removed from the work area or suitably covered, prior to our arrival on site to avoid accidental damage.

7.10.  The clearing and/or moving of furniture and other items obstructing access to work areas is not included within the quote/estimate, however efforts will be made to accommodate this where possible. No liability can be held for any damage caused should this service be required.

7.11.  The majority of electrical work requires testing and certification, in order to comply with BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations. In order to ensure that full testing of circuits can be completed, please be aware that access may be required to parts of the property which are not within the immediate location of the work being carried out.

7.12.  Whilst carrying out installation, testing and inspection work, it is likely that the electricity supply will be interrupted. This may affect all aspects of the installation and not just the specific circuit being worked on. Every effort is made to minimise disruption, however this should be considered when scheduling in work.

7.13.  No liability can be accepted for loss of power, loss of data or interruptions to online work. It is advisable to make alternative arrangements to accommodate this, for example computer battery back-up and not rely on uninterrupted access to wi-fi/internet for the duration of our visit.

7.14.  Where possible, cables will be concealed in building voids, under floors or chased into walls. Where impracticable or requested by the customer, cables will be surface run (either clipped direct or enclosed in trunking/conduit).

7.15.  Unless agreed beforehand, chases to walls, etc. will be left un-filled. Filling, skimming, and final decoration is excluded from the quote/estimate.

7.16.  Where carpet or floor coverings require lifting, best endeavours will be made to avoid damage and to refit to an acceptable standard. Based on the age and condition of the carpet/floor covering, this may not always be possible, and it may be prudent to employ a professional carpet fitter in these cases. Please speak to us if you have any concerns.

7.17.  Where work is to last for more than one working day, we will, where reasonably possible, leave the property in a clean and tidy state and minimise any disruption to you while work is being carried out. We will, wherever possible, store all tools and materials only in areas where work is being carried out or remove them from the property at the end of each working day.

7.18.  Every effort will be made to ensure that electrical items are plugged back in and in working order before we leave the premises, however, no liability can be held for losses resulting from an electrical item not being plugged back in and/or switched on. We advise customers to check all equipment and appliances upon completion of our work.

7.19.  Removal from site and disposal of rubble, materials, general waste and packaging is generally not included. However, New Generation Electrics are registered as an lower tier waste carrier (ref. CBDL494817) and for an additional charge, may carry out this service at our discretion.

8. Certification

8.1.  Certification and documentation will be issued in accordance with BS7671 IET Wiring Regulations, BS5839 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems for Buildings, and Part P of the Building Regulations.

8.2.  Any additional observations regarding your electrical installation, made during completion of work, will be noted on the electrical certification or invoice for your reference.

8.3.  Certification will be issued with the invoice, either via email, or post. It is important to retain these documents and keep them for future reference, as a record of the work that has been carried out, confirmation that the work has been installed to the current requirements of BS7671 IET Wiring Standards and in the event of an insurance claim or selling your property.

8.4.  Should copies of electrical certification be required at a later date, this may incur a small administration charge.
