Is the price fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Can you work out of hours in Saltney?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Saltney offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
