This occurs mainly 1) very locally and 2) for worktops that we installed ourselves – we want to look after our customers.<\/p>\n

For a brief guide to how we price Labour Only jobs, please see here<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”32488″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”instalation-page quartz_grid_effect”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”25265″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Labour only work <\/b>can include stone cutting or polishing for pieces brought into our Charlwood factory by customers, or work done at a customer’s own site. Very occasionally we may even bring a customer’s stone back here for machining before refitting.<\/p>\n

With all of this labour only work, we proceed on the basis of disclaimer statements: we will do the best we can to do a careful job and avoid breakages, but cannot be held responsible for replacement of a customer’s own material. There are some situations where handling stone has a very high probability of breakage.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”instalation-page quartz_grid_effect”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]\n
