There are loads of companies out there competing for your business, and you need to make sure you're armed with all the facts before you make a decision about which one to choose- here are a few things to check before you decide - we're confident that you'll choose Serviceteam!

Does the company or tradesperson you're considering offer free quotations?
Do they offer an open and honest pricing structure with no hidden costs?
Are their engineers Gas Safe registered or certified to IEE 17th edition standards as a minimum? This is a legal requirement when working with gas or electricity.
Do they have a contactable office, not just a mobile in case of any queries?
Are their tradespeople honest, reliable, polite and vetted?

If the answer to any of these questions is 'no' then give us a call - we can confidently answer 'yes' to all of these questions. Not sure? Check out our testimonials page to see what some of our previous customers think of our customer service!

Serviceteam is an expanding company and we're looking for skilled tradespeople with excellent customer care skills to join our expanding workforce. Our commitment to outstanding service means we only work with the best in their field.

If you're in a trade which is covered by government legislation you'll need accreditation from a trade body such as Gas Safe, NIC EIC, ELECSA or NAPIT.

If you'd like to join a growing company with high standards and be part of a team that leaves customers satisfied on every contact then we'd like to hear from you. You can get in touch with us by contacting us with your accredication details and the type of work you are interested in.

	Are you insured?
	Yes - for your peace of mind we hold insurance for all our services up to £10,000,000

	Are you expensive?
	We don't think so, no! Serviceteam's pricing model is open and honest and most of our charges are displayed on this website. We believe that we offer excellent quality service at reasonable prices. Some companies offer you a cheap or free callout, but charge you heavily for their hourly rate or add a hefty supplement onto parts. Similarly, some companies will offer you an expensive service because their name allows them to charge a premium. Serviceteam offer free quotations for most work and our staff will always be up front about how much things are likely to cost you.

	How much do you charge for quotations?
	Absolutely nothing! We provide FREE quotations which are fully specified with no obligation to you. We don't use pushy salespeople and you're free to decline our quote if you so wish.

	How can I pay for the work I've had done?
	We accept cash, cheque and debit / credit card payments for all of our services.

	Can I have a discount if I have more than one service from you?
	For larger projects we're happy to issue you with a FREE no obligation quote, and we always take into account how much work you're having done when compiling your quote.

	How do we get the keys to you?
	In most cases you will be there when the service is provided. But we can pick keys up from estate agents on your behalf for quotes or in the evenings at your home - just let us know when you call us.

	When will my engineer or tradesperson arrive?
	For your convenience we offer two-hour appointment slots. This means we won't keep you waiting all morning or evening for your appointment like some other companies.

	Do you have a brochure I can see?
	Yes, our brochure contains a full description of all the services we offer and we'll send you one free - just call us on 0207 437 0236.

	Can I speak to someone for advice before I go ahead with a job?
	Of course! We are always happy to speak to you if you're not sure what you need or want some general advice. Our friendly team will try and answer any questions you might have about a job you need doing. For bigger jobs such as building work or landscaping projects we can also arrange to come to your premises to talk things through with you, and we won't charge you for this.
