  • In order to keep the price per portable appliance test to a minimum, it has been necessary to introduce charging for unavoidable travel expenses. These expenses include parking charges, bridge tolls, motorway charges and congestion charges. Parking charges seem to be ever on the increase, and the areas of coverage have spread rapidly. The other charges are not a major issue at the moment, since Edinburgh voted "No" to the congestion charge.

  • Please note that the minimum invoice charge of £50 plus any out-of area travel charge, applies to each location
