[Bell Historians] Whitechapel charges

Helloo!

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!

best wishes,

Matthew (Currently doing this for free).

Is it usual policy for Whitechapel to charge a fee (of £80 for us) to 
visit a tower when asked to quote for a new ring of bells?

I have not come across this before (not that I have done or been 
involved with many projects). Other companies are not making any charge.

The £80 would be offset should they be awarded the job.

What is the experience of others on the list please?

Thanks
Richard Grimmett
