Reinstatement: All holes will be backfilled with arisings and left flush and level. Excess spoil will be bagged and removed from site. If you require reinstatement, for example paving, tarmac or concrete, we can arrange this at £120 per hour and materials at cost +20%.

Monitoring wells: These will be left in-situ on completion of the monitoring. The installation is finished with a flush stopcock type cover.

Cancellation: We can provide a full refund if the work is cancelled with at least 5 full working days notice. After this, we can provide a 50% refund if the work is cancelled up to or during the fieldwork. We are unable to provide any refund once the fieldwork is complete.

Standing time: We are unable to refund any costs where we attend site but are prevented from carrying out the work by matters not under our control. Time spent standing awaiting access, etc will be charged at £120 per hour.

VAT is chargeable on all costs at the prevailing rate (currently 20%).
