Any variation from the plan of scheduled Services or specifications of the Service (including, but not limited to, any increases to Roof & Render in the cost of taxes, levies, materials and labour or where additional Services are required due to the discovery of hidden or unidentifiable difficulties including, but not limited to, obscured building defects, safety considerations, change in specifications or prerequisite work by any third party not being completed, etc. which are only discovered on commencement of the Services) will be charged for on the basis of Roof & Render’ quotation and will be shown as variations on the invoice.

In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.

(b) the Client has met all of its other obligations to Roof & Render.
