How long would a ‘standard’ service take?

Do you need a special area or space to do the service?

Typically we can perform the required work in standard car parks and home addresses (garage or driveway).  If an underground car park is being used, we will seek a location close by to perform the work.

In the event of heavy rain, if no shelter can be found, some work will need to be re-booked.
