otherwise and 30% on delivery of the job.

We accept payments by posting a company cheque or transfer by BACS, CHAPS, Credit or Debit Card.

For overseas customers, please ensure that any bank or commission charges for
international money transfers are not deducted from our invoice total but are paid by you the customer.

We support payment in Pounds sterling only unless agreement has been made by prior consent. Please note: if bank charges are deducted from our invoice, a £25.00 + VAT surcharge will apply in addition to our original invoice value.

Please note that we reserve the right to withhold the installation or delivery of a project, products or services if we do not receive your payment as cleared funds before the ‘jobs deadline’ for delivery or installation.

The term ‘jobs deadline’ means the latest opportunity we have for executing delivery or commencing travel to an installation venue or delivery of products or services.
