- Standard Courier Large - Parcelforce - 2 working days.
- Pallet delivery - Next working day.
- Door to door delivery - Priced by the mile - please call for more info.
Please note that pallet deliverys are "Kerb-side" which means that the driver is not obliged to bring the palelt into the building. They will normally bring it in if you have a large roller door for example, but they will not unpack a pallet and carry it in, and certainly not upstairs.
Returns
We must be contacted prior to the return of any goods regardless of circumstances If a product is defective we need to know within 3 days of receipt. We will replace any items that were delivered damaged free of charge.
We are TRADE ONLY - Our products are made to order, so we can not accept any returns unless the items are faulty, or not as described.

Coronavirus
We are currently working hard to produce all orders ahead of schedule where possible.
We have good stocks ( which were built up in preparation for a no-deal Brexit ) and are as prepared as we can be
for what comes. However - there may well be situations in the coming weeks that are out of our control: for example restrictions moving around the UK, Couriers not operating, not being able to work under government advice etc...
If we are unable to deliver ( or complete a job ) in these circumstances, we can either deliver the job at a later date, or cancel the job - charging for the percentage of work complete,the materials used , and refunding the balance.
By placing an order at this time, you are accepting that we cannot be held in any way responsible for non-delivery as a result of any restrictions resulting from coronavirus.
