Section 1: Website Content & Extent of Liability
- All lead times advertised on the website for goods are estimates based on typical deliveries we have seen in the past. Due to the variation of goods it is not possible for us to stock all products advertised on the website, so we provide estimates to help you choose products only.
- Images & descriptions relating to goods on the website are aids to give you a general idea of the goods on offer. Images and descriptions on the website do not form part of a contract between us and you. Due diligence needs to be done to ascertain the suitability of products you are purchasing to determine if the products will work for the purpose you intend for them.

Installation of items should be conducted by a qualified fitter/installer/plumber ideally with the guidance of an architect and/or quantity surveyor based on the advice of the manufacturer.

Section 3: Sales Contract

- By entering into sales contract this would be a legally binding agreement between both parties and subject to UK law.
Section 4: Delivery
- We shall reserve the right to make deliveries or perform services in instalments (this will be notified in writing prior to delivery). Partial shipments or performance will be billed as made and payments, therefore, are subject to the terms of payment referenced herein.
- Special order items are non-returnable and are often subject to longer lead time. You will be notified of a delay in order when we come to order your items. We will request your acceptance of any special order and your acceptance of the lead time (if known). Once a special order has been ordered we cannot accept cancellation. Please check with your card issuer prior to order for an exact amount if in doubt. We will not be held responsible for any difference between the advertised amounts and actual converted amounts.
- All delivery indications or completion dates are estimated and are dependent in part upon prompt receipt of all necessary information to service an order. We reserve the right to allocate, in its sole discretion, inventories, production, and services when such allocation becomes necessary. In no event will we be liable for any premium transportation, re-procurement, or other costs or losses incurred by Buyer as a result of our failure to deliver products in accordance with indicated delivery/performance schedules.
- All deliveries and estimates are done in working days, which do not include Saturdays, Sundays or bank holidays. During the Christmas period our office and deliveries stop, this date varies from year to year depending on when the Christmas week falls but generally our last delivery is the last working day before the 24th December and deliveries resume the first working day of the New Year. Orders made in the Christmas period are processed upon our return and lead times are to be adjusted from when we return.
- For large orders, please ensure that someone is available to help the driver move the goods from the delivery van to your premises. Our pallet couriers only supply 1 driver to deliver your order and are not insured or obliged to assist in carrying your goods into/onto your property. The extent of their contract is to wheel your pallet on to your driveway/path, not to physically move them into your garage or property. Deliveries are made to the nearest hard road point and for the avoidance of doubt we are only insured and required to deliver the Goods to your delivery address and not to bring them into a property or install them. For large orders a pallet will invariably be used to transport your Goods, this pallet is your responsibility when delivered to dispose of as deemed necessary. It is not the delivery driver’s responsibility to take this away with them.
- We endeavour to deliver most of our goods within the estimated lead times on the website; however, some items may take longer due to fluctuating stock levels from our suppliers/manufacturers. All delivery dates given are only and always provisional, whilst we strive to always deliver on a pre-organised, amicable day, sometimes it is completely out of our control that situations arise that we cannot foresee. Where we can we will try to notify of a potential problem with deliveries or times, however, sometimes it is not always possible to do so. We are not bound by any delivery day/dates that either we or our sub-contracted couriers have organised. If the delivery has not taken place through no fault of your own, then we will often arrange another suitable date at yours and our convenience. For the avoidance of any doubt, we shall not be liable for any loss arising from delay in delivery or non-delivery.
- The booking, payment and managing of tradespeople to install and fit your goods are solely your responsibility. We recommend tradespeople should not be booked until goods are received and checked thoroughly. We cannot accept liability or 3rd part costs incurred as a result of any delays in despatch. Please allow a suitable timescale before your tradespeople start work to the delivery of your goods, so that in the unlikely event of any damages, suitable time can be given to the replacement of said goods.
- Goods can only be delivered to the customer's address (they cannot be left with a neighbour) and must be checked and signed for. If the delivery is to a communal building like a block of flats, please note that the driver may require help unloading. The carrier or we may also ask to see identification before leaving the goods or only deliver to a billing address to help protect us from fraud.
Section 5: Inspection of Goods
- Products shall be inspected by you upon delivery and services, upon performance. Notice of rejection or claim for shortages, damaged product, or other nonconformity must be submitted by you to us, in writing (email is acceptable) within a reasonable amount of time, and must specify the particular respects in which the delivery, products, or services, as applicable, are nonconforming. You shall have no right to exercise any remedial rights until notice of nonconformity has been given to us and we are afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure such nonconformity, if appropriate.
- Before signing for goods please ensure that all products have been carefully inspected for any courier damage. In the case of pallet deliveries please check all goods carefully, and in the unlikely event of damage please return the damaged goods to the driver and take receipt of the good items.

You have a duty of care over the goods whilst they are in your possession. A deduction from the refund (up to the full amount) may be made against the goods if they are returned damaged or in an unsaleable condition or if the original packaging is damaged beyond what is reasonable to inspect the goods. You, the customer, are responsible for the cost of any return carriage and we do not offer a collections service. Cancelled goods should be returned within fourteen days of cancellation.
