What should I ask before approving a quote?
For North Yorkshire, also clarify whether access needs to be restored, security restored, or both and whether the work is urgent or can be planned. Make sure the quote explains labour, parts and the intended remedy. If the work includes an upgrade rather than a like-for-like repair, ask why it is being recommended.
Can you help when a door closes but will not lock?
