After Hours Rates & Surcharges

Our standard office hour rates apply from Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.

Work carried out after-hours and on Saturdays will incur a 50% surcharge, while services provided on Sundays and public holidays are subject to a 100% surcharge.

After-hours work is not part of our regular service, but we may be available in emergency situations, special circumstances, or by prior arrangement. Please note that surcharges may be adjusted on a case-by-case basis depending on the situation.

If you require assistance outside our standard hours, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Why do we charge a Call-Out  / Vehicle Maintenance Fee?

This fee is not just for showing up; it is a necessary component that covers the real-world costs of running a professional mobile service. It contributes to travel time, vehicle running costs, and the initial time required on-site to properly assess your needs before the work begins. This ensures we can continue to provide a prompt, reliable service to all our clients.

Quotations for Large Projects

For larger jobs, such as renovations or significant construction work, we provide a detailed written quotation to give you a clear understanding of the total investment required.

• Free Quotation: If you accept our written quote and proceed with the job, the quoting service is completely free.

• $50 Quote Rejection Fee: For large projects, if you decide not to proceed with the work after receiving our detailed written quote, a $50 fee will apply. For smaller projects, and quick quotes across the phone, we do not charge this fee.

Why do we have a Quote Rejection Fee?

Creating an accurate, comprehensive quote requires significant professional time and effort. It involves a detailed on-site assessment, careful calculation of materials, and leveraging decades of experience to scope the project correctly and anticipate any potential challenges. This fee protects our professional time and ensures we can dedicate the necessary attention to detail for every client who requests a formal quote.

The Value of Experience

When choosing a tradesperson, the hourly rate is only part of the story. At Craig’s Maintenance Services, you are investing in an outcome, not just an hour of labour.

While you might find lower handyman rates elsewhere, these often come with unforeseen costs; jobs that take longer than estimated, mistakes that require costly rework, or solutions that are not fully compliant with New Zealand’s building code.

When you work with Craig, your investment secures:

• Over two decades of hands-on experience solving problems correctly the first time.
• Unmatched efficiency that saves you money in the long run.
• Fully compliant work, with an established network of certified trades to handle sign-offs.
• The peace of mind that comes from knowing the job is done right, by a trusted professional.

You simply cannot beat decades of proven experience. Craig’s Maintenance Services provides all-round better value because his work lasts, it’s compliant, and it’s completed to the highest standard, every time. You get what you pay for; an investment in quality is an investment in your property.

Payment Information

An invoice will be issued upon completion of the work. Payment can be made via bank transfer and is due within 7 days of the invoice date.
