Eight towns, two vans
Where the vans go
Everything is measured from Alvaston. Most of Derby is fifteen minutes, Burton and Ashbourne about half an hour, and the far corners under an hour. None of it changes what you pay.
Two jobs in one town beats two crossings of the city. If we are already coming your way, you get the earlier slot.
Weather, more than distance
Some jobs cannot be done properly in heavy rain. We ring before setting off rather than turning up and shrugging.
Not the mileage
Ashbourne is half an hour and often easier than a Derby side street. Being furthest out does not put you last.
And not the price
There is no travel charge anywhere on this page. Outside the patch we may add something, and you hear the figure first.
Coverage questions
Do you charge extra for travel?
Not to anywhere on this page. The quoted price is the price whether you are ten minutes from Alvaston or out past Ashbourne. Outside the patch we may add something, and we will say so before you book rather than on the invoice.
I am a few miles outside. Is that a no?
Usually not. The eight towns are where we go every week, not a fence. Nottingham, Uttoxeter and Swadlincote all come up regularly. Send the postcode and you will get a straight answer the same day.
Which areas get same-day call-outs?
All of them in principle. In practice the closer you are to Alvaston the better the odds, and ringing before ten matters far more than where you live.
Can you come to my workplace rather than home?
Most of our weekday work is exactly that. Leave the keys at reception and it is done before you come out. On business parks with barrier access, tell us the site name and we will get signed in first.
On a map
Roughly forty minutes in every direction from Alvaston, stretched along the A38 and the A6 because that is where the roads take us.
