Here are our standard terms and conditions.

- We will agree mutually agreed delivery and installation dates. You need to give us at least 3 working days notice if you wish to reschedule any agreed dates. We rely upon our suppliers and contractors to do the best to keep the to the timescales we agree with you. Despite our best efforts we can’t absolutely guarantee meeting specific dates as timescales can slip due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. When this happens we will keep you fully informed.

- If your site has access restrictions, we may have to adapt the design to allow goods to be delivered. We will mark these on the plans should this be necessary. e.g. as granite has to be carried horizontally by a team of people, should it not be possible to deliver a long length of granite to your site we will adapt the design to use smaller pieces of granite.
