Important Information Regarding Leak Detection & Work Provided To Resolve

1. While we guarantee the quality of the works we perform, due to the inherent nature of roof leaks we cannot guarantee that you will not experience leaks in the future. Your roof may be old, or have several other issues that are not readily apparent at the time of our quote, during or after our works are completed. This means that our guarantee extends only to workmanship of the repairs carried out, not the resolution of any specific leaks. The exception to this is if we are installing a brand new roof, gutter & drainage system. If you are still experiencing leaks after our work is performed, we are happy to return and confirm workmanship of our repair and advise what further can be done to resolve the leak.

Important Information Regarding Access to All Ground Level Areas

SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning requires full access to backyards, courtyards and the like to be able to perform a ground level clean up of debris. This includes any gutters and downpipes that are not accessible other than via the above mentioned areas. It is your responsibility to provide access to these areas. If we cannot gain access to these areas at the time of our visit, the ground level clean up will be your responsibility. If you request us to do so, we will return to clean these areas, but it will be done at a service rate of $165+GST per hour and a travel charge of $80+GST.

Approval Of Works With Materials

Approval of any works which require materials to be purchased will require you to complete a service agreement with graduated payments as follows:
Terms

Quotes valid for 60 days from date of issue.

All materials remain the property of SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning until such time as work is fully paid for.

In the case that we do not ask you to complete a service agreement, you will still be held liable for any costs incurred for materials if you cancel a job after the materials have been purchased. Approval of our quote indicates acceptance of these terms.

Limitations Of Quotations

A quotation is not an offer and may be withdrawn or modified; save as otherwise agreed in writing by SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning. No contract or commitment shall exist until:

SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning provides written confirmation that the quote has been booked in to be completed and a date has been agreed upon by SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning

And/Or

Until SGC Sydney Gutter Cleaning commences work on or appropriates Goods to the Contract.

Ground level clean up of debris

We do our best to perform a thorough ground level clean up. The ground level clean up is limited to leaves, sticks and branches falling off the roof during the cleaning process. Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee that a small amount of leaves will not be left in gardens and on lawns after our clean up. We are not gardeners. As such, we will not remove additional debris from your property other than that falling from the roof during the cleaning process.

Important Information Regarding the Scope and Limitations of the inspections and reports

1.      The report is NOT an all-encompassing report dealing with the building from every aspect. It is a reasonable attempt to identify any obvious or significant defects apparent at the time of the inspection. Whether or not a defect is considered significant or not, depends, to a large extent, upon the age and type of the building inspected. This report is not a Certificate of Compliance with the requirements of any Act, Regulation, Ordinance or By-law. It is not a structural report.

2.      THIS IS A VISUAL INSPECTION ONLY limited to those areas and sections of the property fully accessible and visible to the Inspector on the date of Inspection. The inspection DOES NOT include breaking apart, dismantling, removing or moving objects including, but not limited to, foliage, mouldings, roof insulation/sisalation, floor or wall coverings, sidings, ceilings, floors, furnishings, appliances or personal possessions. The inspector CANNOT see inside walls, between floors, inside skillion roofing, behind stored goods in cupboards, other areas that are concealed or obstructed. The inspector WILL NOT dig, gouge, force or perform any other invasive procedures. Visible timbers CANNOT be destructively probed or hit without the written permission of the property owner.

3.      The Report does not and cannot make comment upon: defects that may have been concealed; the assessment or detection of defects (including rising damp and leaks) which may be subject to the prevailing weather conditions; whether or not services have been used for some time prior to the inspection and whether this will affect the detection of leaks or other defects (eg. In the case of shower enclosures the absence of any dampness at the time of the inspection does not necessarily mean that the enclosure will not leak); the presence or absence of timber pests; gas-fittings; common property areas; environmental concerns; the proximity of the property to flight paths, railways, or busy traffic; noise levels; health and safety issues; heritage concerns; security concerns; fire protection; site drainage (apart from surface water drainage); swimming pools and spas (non-structural); detection and identification of illegal building work; detection and identification of illegal plumbing work; durability of exposed finishes; neighbourhood problems; document analysis; electrical installation; any matters that are solely regulated by statute; any area(s) or item(s) that could not be inspected by the consultant. Accordingly this Report is not a guarantee that defects and/or damage does not exist in any inaccessible or partly inaccessible areas or sections of the property (NB Such matters may upon request be covered under the terms of a Special-purpose Property Report).
