London Fusion Repairs Terms & Conditions
1. Appliance Repairs
- 1.1. Our one-off fixed charge covers you against the cost of the service engineers’ call out, diagnostics & labour no matter how long the engineer is there or for how many visits it takes him to repair that fault. The focus of the repair is based on the description of the fault we have been given.
- 1.2. Any spare parts required will be charged for separately (unless specifically stated otherwise).
- 1.3. We aim to repair most domestic appliances, but the manufacturer, appliance type, model and age will have a major influence on whether we can promptly obtain replacement part(s) and ultimately complete the repair. It should also be noted that once a specific appliance is no longer made the manufacturer will only stock replacement parts for a given period.
- 1.4. We require payment before or on the day of the engineer’s first visit via Cash or Debit/Credit Card (exc. American Express). Payment for any parts that are to be ordered must be paid for on the return visit. If a required part is a special order or of a large cost we may ask you to pay for the part before we can place the order. Parts which are not required, but have been paid for, will be refunded.
- 1.5. Our engineer will call out on the agreed date and time to carry out the repair to your appliance. If at the time of the call out any required part(s) are unavailable our service engineer will usually order the part(s) within 1-2 working days of the call out. The item(s) will then be delivered to us within 5 working days of the order being placed. If the part(s) are not in stock this can take anything from 5 working days with the norm being around 14 working days. It should be noted that unfortunately there are a handful of manufacturers whose parts are not easily sourced and in some cases these have to be obtained from abroad which will result in a delay in completing the repair. As soon as the part(s) are available we will contact you to arrange a new appointment date to complete the repair.
- 1.6. We do our utmost to attend on the date and time agreed with you at the time of booking, this includes bookings made via our website. However occasionally may be unable to attend to the aforementioned. Should this happen, we will offer to reschedule the appointment date and time with you.
- 1.7. We do not repair commercial appliances however we will repair domestic appliances installed in commercial premises. In such instances we do not offer a guarantee on these repairs.
- 1.8. We do not accept liability for any losses which you may incur before, during, or after, us providing our products/services. This includes, but is not limited to; food loss and laundry costs.
- 1.9. If you wish London Fusion Repairs to repair more than one appliance in your property each appliance will be charged at the normal repair rate.
- 1.10. Free parking or a valid permit to park must be provided to the engineer attending to your repair on behalf of London Fusion Repairs . If this is not the case, you may be charged for parking. If you are within the London congestion or ULEZ zones, you may also be charged for these. These will be in addition to any other charges. Please refer to our charges, or contact us, for more information.
- 1.11. Should your appliance repair require the services of two (2) or more engineers for e.g. repairs to a tumble dryer which is stacked on top of a washing machine, additional charges may apply. This information can be provided to you upon request.
- 1.12. We reserve the right to refuse to install any spare parts which have not been sourced through London Fusion Repairs, or a representative of London Fusion Repairs . Safety of our customers, and property, is our highest priority and we may enforce this right as we are unable to guarantee the validity or history of said spare parts.
- 1.13. If you have booked appointment and on the day cannot provide access to the engineer, you will be charged £45 + VAT for missed callout.
- 1.14. If you are a landlord/agency, you must pay before the engineer visits your property. If the invoice is unpaid, the appointment will not be confirmed.
2. The London Fusion Repairs Network
- 2.1. A London Fusion Repairs engineer may not always attend to your repair. In an instance when this happens an engineer (Local Engineer) part of the London Fusion Repairs will attend. These engineers are fully vetted by us and should be treated the same as a London Fusion Repairs engineer. Regardless of who attends this will not affect the labour charge or any of your terms and conditions. The Local Engineer is responsible for the guarantee of the appliance and any damage caused through negligence.
3. Issues that may arise during your repair
- 3.1. If at the time of the call out, the fault is found to be a result of misuse, neglect or poor installation or, the appliance type or fault is not as described originally we reserve the right to charge you the full labour rate.
- 3.2. If we are unable to obtain spare parts from our suppliers to repair the appliance. Then we would be unable to fix your machine under such circumstances you will still be charged the full labour rate.
- 3.3. Some repairs will require that the appliance is fully accessible (e.g. able to be moved from under a work surface without damaging the surrounding facia). If your appliance cannot be easily accessed to facilitate the repair we reserve the right to abort the repair. In such instances, we reserve the right to charge you the full labour rate.
- 3.4. You are expected to give as much notice as possible when cancelling repairs. If we have already attended and the repair has started you will be charged the full labour rate.
- 3.5. You shall provide safe and sufficient access for installation or removal of any goods. Whilst we will take care to install or remove appliances without damage to flooring or adjacent fittings, we cannot be liable for any such damage unless it was due to our negligence.

Any damage must be reported to the engineer at the time of visit or within 48 hours to the Service Manager.
