<div>Helloo!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This sounds about right. £80 would barely cover their fuel and time. I think we should all do this - most projects now require 3 quotes (so say 66% of reports and estimates would be a waste of our time), it might help cover some of the costs involved!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>best wishes,</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Is it usual policy for Whitechapel to charge a fee (of £80 for us) to <br>
visit a tower when asked to quote for a new ring of bells?<br>
<br>
I have not come across this before (not that I have done or been <br>
involved with many projects). Other companies are not making any charge.<br>
<br>
The £80 would be offset should they be awarded the job.<br>
<br>
What is the experience of others on the list please?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Richard Grimmett<br>
