Making A Purchase

Please note, that from this web site we are currently only supplying the UK and Northern Ireland. If you wish to purchase from any other country, please contact us for a quotation

Making a purchase is easy. Just browse our web pages, click on any items that you wish to buy and put them into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, please press the 'check out' button to proceed to the payment pages, where you can pay online with credit card. Alternatively you can send us a written order together with a cheque. If you pay with credit card, we will ask you for the credit card holder's address and you will be given the opportunity to state your delivery address if it is differs from the card holder's address. You then continue to a secure page, where we will ask you for your credit card details. These details will only be known to the merchant bank handling the payment.

If you are purchasing using a Mastercard, you will be forwarded temporarily to your issuing bank's verification page, where you will need to enter your password registered with your card. This is a step taken by Mastercard to curb internet fraud. If you have no password, yet, you will be asked to create a password. After completion you will be routed back to the end of the payment process. We will then issue an order number and email you a confirmation of order. Please note that Visa customers are offered the password-protected process as well, but VISA customers can at this moment in time still decline to register a password for their card.

Choosing the right product and adhering to regulation

We will always attempt to give you the best advice possible through information on our website and through e-mails and discussions over the phone. But as we cannot check out your particular situation due to distance and time constraint, you are ultimately responsible for choosing a suitable product and must ensure that you adhere to legislation, Building Regulations and good practice.

Please note that there is regulation with regards to the maintenance of certain products. Fire extinguishers, for example, must be services every 12 months. You are responsible for setting up any services and maintenance programmes required for your products purchased from us. Our staff will be happy to give further advice.

Please note that all mains-powered electrical equipment must be installed by trained electricians.

Transport Damage

Please check the status of your package immediately before signing the receipt of the goods. If you see damage on the outer packaging, this must be noted on your copy of the delivery note and on the copy of the carrier. Otherwise you might not be able to receive a replacement or refund from us for items damaged in transit. You can refuse damaged parcels without signing for these. If you find the transport damage AFTER the carrier has left, please inform us instantly. If the claim is made on the same day as the delivery, we will still accept liability.

If goods are ordered before 1pm, we usually ship the same day. Most shipments are sent with overnight transport. Lighter parcels up to 2.0 kg are sent with Royal Mail Second Class. Should we be out of stock of an item, we will inform you as soon as possible.

Please note that we cannot be held responsible for deliveries that are delayed due to circumstances beyond our control.
