What to have in front of you
Address with postcode if you have it, a photo of the problem, and the hours you are home. Say “Ik spreek Engels” if you need English.
Call-out fees (voorrijkosten) are extra. Ask before they travel. There is no official national call-out table; the number on the card is the company, not this site.
