  • Quotations are provided free of charge following a home survey and are valid for 30 days from the date of issue.

If any of the chosen products are temporarily unavailable, we may suggest a substitute product to honour the original installation date.
  • We may sometimes require a secondary Technical Survey to be undertaken after an order has been placed due to the scale of the project, age of the property or any other reason we believe may benefit from a second survey. If is believed additional works, products and labour are required to those stated on the original order form we will discuss this with you, including the additional costs and ask that you sign an Amendment to Order to authorise the changes.
  • If you choose to make any amendments to the original order you will be liable to cover the cost of the products, parts, or labour.
  • We may choose not to accept your order and will provide the reason(s) for doing so. If we do not accept your Order (whether in whole or in part) we will refund any monies paid in connection with the Order (or that part of the Order that we do not accept).

  • We will commence the installation on the date agreed in the confirmation letter. However due to circumstances beyond our control we may sometimes ask to amend the installation date.
  • We will require sufficient access to the property (including to the loft and the garden) to allow our installer(s) to complete the works. If for any reason access is refused, we reserve the right to charge for the remainder of the installation to recoup losses.
  • On occasion, we may need to ask our suppliers to deliver products for your installation to your property a few days before work commences. We will always inform you if this is the case and on what date(s) to expect delivery. You will not be required to move or lift any heavy objects, but we kindly ask that you direct the delivery driver to where the product(s) can be stored safely.
  • We will also require a suitable area to store all the waste that is generated until the waste company removes it – typically 2-5 days following completion. An area for waste will be identified in the initial home survey. You must not add any domestic waste or other items, or it may result in delayed or non-collection by the waste company.
  • If restrictions are in place which do not allow you to store waste materials on site, you may need to apply for a permit for waste to be stored on a public road or by other means to expedite the removal of waste from a public/communal area (block of flats)
  • If we are unable to start the works or deliver the products (where applicable) as a result of your action or inaction (for example, you are not present at the property or you have not cleared the area where the services are to be provided), we will need to arrange a subsequent visit to complete the installation or deliver the Products and we reserve the right to charge you a further fee for this.
  • Any reduction in energy consumption (including any calculation of potential costs savings) that we provide to you is approximate only and, unless we have failed to take reasonable skill and care, we shall not be responsible if the reduction or savings are not achieved following the provision of the Services.
  • Our surveyors and staff are not medically trained but possess a broad knowledge of mobility products and can provide guidance on your requirements and from advice made by medical professionals or carers. Our surveyor and staff cannot provide medical advice.
  • You should not rely on the accuracy or suitability of plans provided and we always recommend conducting a second survey either conducted by us or a third party.
  • If you provide us with measurements, you must ensure they are correct and accurate. You are responsible for the accuracy of measurements you provide.
  • If there is an error in the measurements you supply and the Products and/or Services are made or supplied to those measurements, we will not refund the cost of the Products and/or Services provided, unless the Products are faulty, or we have failed to exercise reasonable skill and care.
  • We may refuse to conduct or continue with the installation if any persons in the property should become abusive or aggressive or we have any cause for concern for the safety and welfare of our installer(s) and contractors.
  • We will only discuss the quote and installation with persons named on the order form or authorised third parties.
  • We will only conduct the installation using products that you have purchased from us or an authorised third party acting on our behalf unless we agree otherwise.
  • If it is agreed, prior to installation, to use any materials supplied by you such as tiles, these should be on site on the first day of installation.
  • You must ensure that the products you select within the order are suitable for your needs.
  • All products are subject to availability. If you order products which are not available from stock, we will take reasonable steps to contact you to discuss how you wish to proceed. You will have the option to wait until the Products are available from stock or cancel your Order for those Products. If the Products are unlikely to be restocked (or we are unable to contact you), we will cancel your Order for those Products and refund the price you have paid for those Products.
  • You may need to obtain any necessary planning permissions, local authority consents or other permissions if structural work is required to the property. Please check with you local Planning or Building Control departments. It is not our responsibility to check that you have obtained any required consents or permissions. You must allow us or our agent to inspect these consents and permissions if we ask.
  • You must inform us if the property where the installation is to be conducted is listed, is located within a conservation area or otherwise subject to restrictions which may impact the installation. It is your responsibility to check that the services will not violate any such restrictions.
  • We will always endeavour to keep disruption to utilities to a minimum.
  • The Surveyor will assess your property and provide a quote for any electrical work required for your new bathroom. Please be mindful that the Surveyor is not a certified electrician and cannot test your home to the same level as an electrician. If an electrical upgrade is required during the installation to meet minimum specifications, it will incur additional costs as an “unforeseen” item.
  • Please inform our Surveyor if you suspect the presence of asbestos in your property. Asbestos identification and testing can cause delays and additional removal costs. While we strive to detect asbestos, some areas may be inaccessible, making it impossible to guarantee its discovery before the installation start date.
  • We will always recommend installing a shower seat adjacent to the shower control panel to ensure easy access. Should you instruct us to install a shower seat on the same wall as the shower control panel you accept this is against our advice. Following completion of the bathroom, should you wish to relocate the position of the shower seat, this will not be covered by the 12-Month or Extended Installation Warranty and will be subject to additional charges.
  • Flipper screens provide wider shower access and are designed to deflect water but cannot guarantee complete water containment within the shower tray during use. Some water splash underneath and around the screen is likely to occur.
  • Replacement of older shower units and taps may result in reduced water flow due to updated regulations. The installation of Thermostatic Valve (TMV) products may require a pump, incurring additional costs.
  • Pumps used to manage water flow both into and away from your shower/bath may generate various noises, and waste pumps may produce more noise during specific cycles, which may travel to adjacent rooms.
  • Services required to complete the installation may be undertaken by a third party at our request.
  • If we have agreed to remove pre-existing units, fixtures, or fittings this may cause some damage to surrounding areas. We will try to limit the amount of damage caused but unless we have agreed to do so or we have failed to exercise reasonable skill and care, the installation does not include us ‘making good’ any damage caused, painting, decorating, or tiling.
  • Unless we agree otherwise or unless resulting from the negligence of us or any subcontractor appointed by us, the installation does not include, and we shall not be responsible for, the correction of:
    • any faults or failures in the supply of water, electricity, gas, or other services to the property where our services are to be provided nor any faults or failures in the water or drainage systems of any other conduits or systems connected to the property; or
    • accidental or wilful damage or defective works caused by other persons in relation to the property where our services are to be provided.
    • If additional works are:
      • found to be necessary (including the removal and disposal of asbestos and any other hazardous substances); or
      • requested by you,

    in each case during the provision of our services we reserve the right to charge additional fees for the products and/or services required. Where additional works are found to be necessary, work under your order will be suspended and we may provide you with a quotation or Amendment to Order for the additional work. If you accept the quotation and payment is received, we will recommence work under your order and conduct the additional works. The provision of additional works may be subject to separate terms and conditions.

    • Such additional work may be fundamental to the provision of the products and/or our services and, as a result, we reserve the right to suspend the provision of the products and/or our services until such additional works have been completed, whether by us or a third party to our satisfaction. If you do not agree to the additional works, you may cancel your order and you will be liable to pay the charges for the products provided and/or our services conducted prior to cancellation. You will receive a refund for any works that have not yet commenced, or products not yet purchased. If you cancel your order and any products have been purchased to your specification with bespoke measurements no refund will be given for these items.
    • If you do not agree to the additional works and cancel your order we will not be responsible for returning the bathroom/room back to its original state or ‘making good’ any damage or disruption caused and we will not be require to plaster, paint, decorate or tile unless we have agreed to do so or we have failed to exercise reasonable skill and care.

  • The period of warranty commences on the final day of installation when we consider your bathroom to be useable.

  • Extended 2 or 3-Year Warranty packages are available at an additional cost and must be purchased within 30 days of completion of the bathroom.
  • If we are called out within the 12-Month or Extended Warranty period and the issue is not covered by the warranty terms we will charge £90 for the first 30 minutes, followed by £80 for every hour thereafter.
