    Dispatch Policy

    While every effort will be made to ensure that all items shown are in stock we offer no guarantee of availability and this electronic publication does not constitute an offer for sale.

    Goods delivered normally arrive between 8am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, in 3-5 working days of placing your order. You are able to supply your preferred delivery day in the shopping cart, when you purchase your choice of products. We will then call you to confirm that this date is possible, or to arrange an alternate date that is convenient to you.

    We offer free delivery on all orders over £50 + VAT to mainland U.K.

    A delivery surcharge will also apply to some areas in Northern Scotland, Northen & Southen Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight. For deliverys into Europe please call one of our sales advisors. See Delivery Surcharges.

    Most orders are dispatched from stock with a lead time of 3 days. Next day delivery can be arranged if needed. For next day deliver orders must be placed and full payment cleared before 10am. We can not offer next day deliveries for orders placed over the weekend or bank holidays. All next day delivers are subject to stock.

    All deliveries are made to kerbside at the nearest access point to the delivery address for the delivery vehicle. The driver may require help unloading the products. As deliveries can be made by a large lorry or van, it is assumed that the delivery address will be accessible by lorry. If there is likely to be a problem, e.g. the road is subject to a vehicle weight or width limit please inform us at the time of order. Deliveries will be made between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm. We are unable to give an estimate of delivery time as all deliveries are at the couriers discretion.

    If a courier arrives at your address and is unable to deliver on the arranged delivery date because you are not there you will be liable for the re-delivery charge of £60.

    Every effort is made to ensure that your goods are delivered in perfect condition. Please inspect your goods immediately on deliver as no claims with regard to damaged items can be made after our driver has left the delivery address, unless signed for as damaged on delivery. Goods refused on delivery that are found to be undamaged on return to us will incur a return delivery charge of £60. In the unlikely event that some of your goods are damaged we will collect and replace the product. Any claims must be made within 7 days of receipt of goods.

    No liability can be accepted for costs caused by late deliveries or for any other reason. Therefore we advise against booking trades for installations until goods have been received.

    In the event that you are not available to provide a signature on the pre-arranged date, then you may be charged for re-delivery. Deliveries cannot be left outside in porches, garages or any other location.

The order confirmation email you received lists all the materials and quantities you ordered. You will need to examine the pallet and count each item to make sure everything ordered has been received.

    Unless specifically requested (additional cost), all deliveries are curbside. This means that you (or someone able) must be home to take the material from the trailer to your home. The driver will only unload to the curbside and are not allowed to enter your home.

    DO NOT let the driver leave until you have verified the product received is in good condition and that all appliances have been accounted for. Any damages or missing items must be noted on your delivery receipt. If not noted we are unable to process with any replacement products.
