Call-out fee

A fixed charge for attending a job, separate from the labour and materials.

A call-out fee covers the cost of getting to site (travel, vehicle and the time to attend) and is charged on top of labour and materials. It’s common for emergency and after-hours work, where attending itself has a real cost.
