      2.3 We shall endeavour to provide accurate estimates for completion of the Work and will make reasonable efforts to complete the Work in accordance the estimates provided.

      2.6 It is your responsibility to allow us access to the Property to carry out the Work.

      PERMISSIONS

      2.7 This Agreement is subject to your confirmation that you are the owner of the Property and are not a tenant.

Any variations required to be made to the Central Heating Installation, the Partial Installation or any Additional Work required to properly complete the Work and any additional costs associated therewith, shall be agreed with you prior to the commencement of the Work or as the case may be such Additional Work or variation of the Works.

      STEPS INVOLVED

      2.12 Prior to commencing the Work, the Installation Engineer will, where relevant:

      (a) visually inspect the relevant parts of the Property and the Central Heating System;

      (b) test the integrity of the Central Heating System; and

      (c) carry out a full technical survey of the Property (including the Central Heating System) to ascertain for the purpose of facilitating the Work:

      (i) the condition and soundness of your Central Heating System;

      (ii) the condition and soundness of accessible gas pipe work and all flexible connections;

      (iii) the adequacy of the fixed air supply;

      (iv) the effectiveness of any flue or chimney;

      (v) the appropriateness of appliance locations;

      (vi) the condition and soundness of the electrical system; and

      (vii) the suitability of the gas, electricity and water supply to the Property.

      2.13 If the above inspections and system checks reveal that (a) any additional work is required, we shall inform you of same as soon as possible and confirm whether we are able to undertake such additional work and provide you with an estimate of the price and time required for completing the additional work; or (b) any gas safety hazards are identified, we shall inform you of same as soon as possible and issue you with a Notification of Hazard and (if possible) provide you with an estimate of the time required to remedy such gas safety hazards and any associated costs. We shall not be required to continue with any Work unless and until any increase in the Price has been agreed by you. We will issue you with a new Sales Quotation and you must sign this new Sales Quotation before we carry out the Work (which shall include the Additional Work). Please note that where the Installation Engineer issues a Notification of Hazard, we will not continue with any Work unless and until we have been provided with a Declaration of Conformance Certificate.

      2.14 A summary of the steps involved in the Work (the “Scope of Work”) is appended to the Sales Quotation.

      2.15 When carrying out the Work, we will (if required):

      (ii) use bricks or tiles that you provide.

      2.16 Unless otherwise stated, electrical wiring, connections and material necessary for the carrying out of the Work will be included in the Price. When carrying out the Work, we will not create channels for wiring or pipework in solid walls or floors.
