Applicable to Doors & Shutters
PLEASE CHECK YOUR DOOR or SHUTTERS BEFORE WORK COMMENCES
DIRECTIONS
Doors must be handled with care and stored in a dry and clean environment. Before doors are delivered for installation to site, ensure that all plaster and cement work is completely dry (and that de-humidifiers are no longer in use) as excessive moisture penetration to the door may result in breakdown of the joints.
PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Check carefully that the doors are fully acceptable and in good condition prior to any installation work being carried out or to fixing the same. Please report any defects within 48 hours. Tel: 07890 728144
FINISHING AND PROTECTING It is most important that doors are fully sealed on all six surfaces (including cut-outs) using a good water repellent wood protective treatment.
SPECIAL NOTES Minor swelling and shrinking of wood parts is NOT a defect within the meaning of this limited warranty, but it is a normal characteristic of wood that may occur with variations in climatic and atmospheric conditions such as humidity and temperature. Warp in the plane itself will be considered a defect only if it exceeds ¼ inch when measured as deviation from the straight edge, on the suspected concave surface of the door, in its installed position.
Reclaimed Pine: Each batch of timber is unique; therefore we cannot guarantee it will correspond with the colour, exact dimensions or quality of samples shown. The reclaimed pine is typically over 100 years old, cut from old beams/ joists removed from demolished buildings such as Victorian schools, churches and cotton mills. Sometimes the use of high grade wood fillers is necessary.
Oak Boarded Doors: The European oak used has been carefully air-dried, kiln dried and sawn. The newly sawn oak is a light brown colour, which will darken when exposed to light. Manufactured by time-served craftsmen, by hand, these doors will always be unique. Some knots and graining will be present.
External Doors: IT IS NECESSARY TO SEAL ALL JOINING POINTS PROPERLY TO AVOID WATER DROPS / DRIPPING ON THESE SPOTS, BEFORE PAINTING ETC…. We recommend the use of several coats of high quality primer, undercoat and external gloss paint for all softwood doors. Check your doors at least once a year to see if there is any deterioration in the wood protective finish. Treat as necessary.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
WE SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL WORK OR EXPENSES, ARISING OUT OF ANY DEFECT IN OUR PRODUCT, OR BECAUSE OF BAD WORKMANSHIP APPLIED TO OUR PRODUCT.
IN THE EVENT OF ANY GOODS PROVING DEFECTIVE (MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS ONLY) WHICH NEED REPLACEMENT, THE SELLERS LIABILITY SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THE PRICE OF THE ITEMS SOLD.
THESE NOTES DO NOT AFFECT YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS
Applicable to Radiators
Dimensions - All our traditional radiators are individually hand cast and assembled, thus total lengths/widths of the radiators can vary slightly. We strongly advise that you position your radiators before installing your pipe work. The Company will not be liable for any damage or losses incurred by the purchaser or their representatives for installation of pipe work prior to the goods being placed in situ.
Painting & Finishes - Sectional radiators are supplied in a primer coating ready to be painted. The colour of the primer varies by radiator and, although the Company will endeavour to meet the Purchaser’s requirements, it cannot be held responsible for failure to supply a particular primer colour. We recommend that primed radiators are painted with an appropriate paint for the purpose. For painted goods, the Company gives no guarantee that the colour will accord precisely with the advertised colour and the Purchaser accepts that there may be minimal differences. The colour and gloss level in any colour or RAL chart must be used only as guidance. Please note that colours presented online will vary between different computers and monitors and that printed colours may vary slightly from the actual paint colour.
Polishing - Polished radiators are supplied coated with a thin layer of oil. Polished radiators should be kept oiled by applying a thin coat of oil every 2 months. This will protect the cast iron from rusting. Oils used can be anything from Danish oils to WD40 type oils; they must be clear and long lasting. If you forget to oil your radiator, depending on the moisture within the environment, a thin coat of rust may appear. This can easily be removed by applying a thin coat of ‘T-Cut’ and then re-oiling the radiator. Do not put any damp clothes onto your radiators as this will cause them to rust. There are a number of different types of polished finish available in the UK, if the type of polished finish is of key importance (e.g. to match other radiators), please let us know and we will endeavour to meet your requirements. A photo is always the best recourse in these circumstances.

Invoice - It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to check the invoice and ensure that all details on the invoice are correct. The Company will not be held liable for any details that are incorrect if they have not been brought to the attention of the Company prior to the dispatch of goods.
Payment - Payment for goods is in full in advance of delivery unless with the prior agreement of the Company in writing. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on any late payments at the rate of 4% above current base rate, i.e. if base rate is 5%, the interest levied by the Company would be 9% per annum.
Delivery - Delivery dates are approximate and no liability whatsoever is accepted in respect of late deliveries. Upon request we supply estimated delivery dates. Purchasers are usually notified of confirmed delivery dates 2-3 days prior to dispatch. The Company will not be responsible for any delays in the delivery of goods or services, nor for any damages or loss caused to the Purchaser or other party as a consequence of this delay. The Company will endeavour to meet any special shipping requirements as a courtesy, but will not be held responsible for failure to meet these requirements.
Delivery applicable to items shipped by pallet - When shipped using this method the haulage company will attempt to deliver pallets as close as possible to the Purchaser’s required position, usually to the closest hard-standing area. The haulage company is under no obligation to remove items from the pallet, nor carry items into the Purchaser’s property. The Purchaser should warn the Company if there is restricted access, soft or gravelled driveways. Should the Company not be notified in advance of any restrictions in delivery access, or should the Purchaser or their representatives not be present to sign for the goods, the Company reserves the right to charge a redelivery fee should redelivery is necessary. A lot of our items are very heavy; please ensure that either sufficient manpower, or lifting gear, is available to unload the pallet. For timed, and/or Saturday deliveries, the haulage company levies additional charges, please contact the Company for details of these charges.
Postage Delivery Small items will be shipped by Royal Mail/business post/courier Company. The Company will not be held responsible for any failure of the pallet forwarding network or delivery service to deliver within any specified period.
Acceptance of Deliveries - Please ensure that goods are unpacked when they are delivered and check them against the delivery note. Any goods damaged in transit must be reported to us within 3 days of delivery. The Company will not be held liable for any damaged goods if not reported to us within this three day time period. The Company cannot be held responsible for any damage occurring after delivery.
Back Orders - Should any item requested by the Purchaser be on back order, the Company will endeavour to supply such goods as soon as possible; however, the Company will not be responsible for any delays in the delivery of goods or services, nor for any damages or loss caused to the Purchaser or other party as a consequence of this delay.
Force Majeure - No responsibility can be accepted by the Company for any failure or delay in performance which is wholly or partially due to an Act of God, War, Fire, Explosion, Riot, Civil Commotion, Restriction by Government or other competent authority, Strikes, Lock Outs, Failure in Supplies, or to any cause whatsoever beyond it’s control.

5 Care of your Radiator(s)
We want your radiator(s) to arrive in perfect condition and be kept in perfect condition to ensure they last you a lifetime. Mishandling during carriage can lead to faults. In order to ensure that your radiators do not get damaged during transit, please note the following; -
When screwing the valve tail into the bush - turn it finger tight then using a spanner turn it till there is only moderate resistance. Using a 4” (100mm) spanner it is difficult to over tighten. It is easy to over tighten and crack the bush with an 8” spanner. A thread sealant must be applied to the valve tail threads to get a water tight seal. LSX sealant available at all plumbers’ merchants is recommended. PTFE tape is an acceptable alternative.
It should not normally be necessary to unscrew the bushes, but if for any reason you do, retighten them gently, enough only to create a good seal. 18” Stilsons should not be used! The torque from an 8” adjustable spanner is more than enough to create a good seal.
6 Carrying
The correct way to carry a radiator keeping is upright at all times. Please use pieces of wood as handles at either end of the radiator. Larger radiators may need a central lift.
