When you request us to supply goods to you, you will be entering into a legally binding contract with us and will be bound by the following terms of business.
Please take some time to read them carefully and if you are unsure on any clause, please contact us for an explanation.

 

1. PAYMENT
1.1 When doors or other products are sold on a supply only basis and not fitted by us you must pay in full at the time you place your order.

1.2 All supply and fit jobs require a 50% deposit with order and with 50% balance paid to our installer on completion.
1.3 Repair jobs must be settled in full on completion of work.

 

2. ESTIMATES
2.1 Estimates are valid for 30 days from the date of issue, during which you are entitled to make an order. After 15 days, you must ask for a new estimate from us.
2.2 Unless specifically stated, the estimate does include:
2.2.1 the cost of removing your old door(s),
2.3 If we believe the existing supporting structure is unsuitable to install a new door or other product, we will inform you at the time of estimate. However, our advice is given as a result of our experience and if you decide to place an order with us despite our advice, we cannot be responsible for the continued suitability of the existing timbers after installation. If you have any doubts, we advise you to instruct a surveyor to carry out a full inspection.
2.4 In a small number of cases, an existing opening or wall can be in a slightly “out of square” condition. If this is obvious at the time the estimate is given, we will make this clear to you and may advise you against having the door or other product installed. However, if it only becomes apparent when the new door or other product is installed, our Tech will advise you of the situation and seek your confirmation that you would like them to try their best to install the door or other product to operate as efficiently as possible within that opening or wall, although we cannot guarantee its effectiveness where the door or other product has been installed against our advice.
2.5 You are responsible for clearing the area where the products are to be fitted and we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage caused to items not removed or adequately protected by you, unless the loss or damage is caused by our negligent work.
2.6 Please ensure that our tech have access to suitable electricity supply to enable them to install the products.
2.7 If you order products from us, or you provide us with measurements or other details for products which you ask us to install, which are subsequently discovered to be wrong, misleading or inaccurate, then you will be responsible for additional costs incurred by us in replacing any such products urgently unless such replacement is as a result of our erroneously advising you as to the suitability of the product in question.

​

3. MATERIAL PROTECTION
3.1 Some of the materials used may naturally vary in colour, or be subject to warping, swelling or shrinkage due to their make up or ordinary natural processes of ageing, fading or the effects of weather or climate. You should consider arranging for such materials to be finished and maintained in accordance with the Manufacturer’s recommendations (or such other maintenance as ought reasonably to be carried out) to avoid unnecessary shrinkage, warping or swelling.
3.2 For the avoidance of doubt, we cannot be responsible for damage caused by natural rotting or decomposition of the supporting timbers or structures, which we advise should be treated appropriately to avoid or postpone rotting or decomposition or in extreme cases, replaced.

4. DELIVERY
4.1 Any estimated time we give for delivery may vary. We will try our best to let you know if the time for delivery or installation will change from that stated on
the estimate. If you urgently require delivery you should make this clear when you place your order with us.

4.2 Where we are delayed in delivering or installing goods because you are unable to take delivery or give us suitable access to install the goods, we reserve the right to charge you reasonable costs for storage of the goods, any increase in our labour and material costs, such increase which will not exceed the percentage increase in the Retail Prices Index (or any replacement of it), between the original date for delivery or instalment and the actual date of delivery or instalment and any bank interest, or other costs incurred by us as a direct result of your delay.
4.3 If you cancel your order as a result of our late delivery which is caused as a result of a factor outside our reasonable control, we will be entitled to charge
you in accordance with clause 6 below.

4.4 We are concerned that you receive your correct order intact. When new doors and/or other products are install, we will ensure that we have the correct order before commencing work. However, when you order goods to be delivered only, you must check the delivery at the time of delivery or as soon as possible after deliver to ensure it is correct and sign the acknowledgement overleaf. If there are any damages or shortages you must report them to us as soon as practicable after the damages or shortages are discovered, otherwise we cannot be responsible for replacing missing or damaged products.

5. GOODS WHICH REMAIN UNPAID5.1 We will charge you interest on overdue bills at the rate of 2% per calendar month from the date on which you were due to pay us until you make the payment, which will be chargeable on a daily basis.

5.2 Until you have fully paid for your entire order, we will continue to own the products supplied to you. Where you have paid by credit or debit card, “fully paid” means that the funds have reached our bank account. Payment by cheque “fully paid” when cheque cleared.

6. CANCELLING ORDERS/RETURNS
When we receive your order, we process it as soon as we can. If you cancel an order where the door or other product is a stock item, we will lose the time we have spent on your order up to the time at which you cancel and so we reserve the right to charge you a cancellation fee which is sufficient to cover our lost expenses and handling charges. If however you cancel a special order product after our suppliers have started manufacturing it, you will be liable for all associated costs.
Non-stock goods cannot be returned, this will include made to measure, personalized items or those customized specifically for you, special colours and or
additional features; If you provide us with measurements, once ordered you agree that the product is the correct size and or description and therefore we are not liable if the item arrives and you are not able to fit it.
