  3. Price. Prices quoted for furniture and services are firm for fourteen days from the quotation date. Prices of appliances and other bought in items are firm for seven days. Except in 3a and 3b below, payment of the full deposit renders the price firm. Value Added Tax will be charged at the rate current at date of tax point. Where goods are ordered or manufactured specifically for your contract we reserve the right to require written confirmation before proceeding. 3a Estimates. Where ‘Estimate’ is used the figures shown are for guidance only and the actual charge will vary according to the materials used and time taken at current rates. 3b. Cabinet doors. Where the contract is only for the supply and installation of custom made to order cabinet doors and the like, and estimates are based on information supplied by you, we will normally re-price after surveying. Unless specified in writing by the customer, we will provide replacements doors of the same dimensions as the doors measured during the survey.

We will, however, rectify any damage caused by us during installation at no cost to you. The title in all goods shall remain with us until full payment has been made. We accept no liability for problems caused by unsuitable site conditions.
  6. Payment. Payment is in full on practical completion of the contract. Where goods are to be ordered or manufactured specifically for your contract a non-refundable deposit will be required. Practical completion is taken to be the point at which the contracted job is available to the end user who then has general use of the facilities. There may be some small outstanding items or remedial works still to be finished for which a maximum of 5% of the contract price may be retained until such items are finally complete at which point all outstanding monies are due. Interest will be charged at 2% per month on all invoices due more than fourteen days. If a ‘payment due on delivery’ is specified in the contract this payment is still due even if you postpone the delivery for any reason. We reserve the right to charge for storage beyond the agreed delivery date.
  7. Illustrations and samples. Photographs, samples and other illustrations or advertising matter supplied by us represent generally the goods specified but shall not be taken as exactly representing the goods in any individual contract. Customers are to check all goods prior to installation to ensure that the supplied goods are correct.
  8. Guarantees. Our workmanship and all materials used are guaranteed against defects for one year from the date of the invoice. The guarantee can only be claimed against once all monies are paid. All bought in products supplied are also covered by the guarantee offered by the manufacturer. Guarantees do not cover normal wear and tear. Wood worktops: The wood we use is dried to a moisture level suiting normal domestic homes and sealed with oil but some dimensional changes and minor splitting are normal with varying ambient conditions. This is not considered a fault.
