​

Flooring Terms & Conditions

​Sub-Floor Condition

Unless specified on your order confirmation, all sub-floor surfaces are your responsibility. We recommend your sub floor to be completely smooth before laying your flooring. We cannot accept any responsibility for the finished appearance of your new flooring where it has been laid over an uneven or sub-standard or sub-floor not completed by us. This includes existing floorboards. If we have carried out a pre-installation inspection/measure, we can only assess the subfloor where access is available. This allows us to provide advice based on the small visible area, but it is not possible to determine the condition of the entire subfloor until the existing flooring has been removed and fully visible. Unfortunately, hidden variations in the subfloor can only become apparent once the floor is fully exposed. If the sub-floor is of sub-standard quality to lay your flooring we advise of options; which could include additional chargeable prep work (ply boarding and/or finishing screed) or alternative flooring options.

Sizes

All Sizes are approximate and subject to a tolerance of + or – 1.25% in accordance with ‘’Clause 3 od B.S 3655-1974’’. Please remember to measure all staircases, hallways and door frames when suppling your own measurements. If you supply incorrect measurements or in accurate floor plan we cannot refund your order once it has been cut.

Installation

Flooring installation is offered by professional trusted sub-contractors. Flooring installation by the company has a 1-year warranty period. The company warranty will not apply when unsuitable product has been selected by customer for an unsuitable area, wilfully damaged, negligence, misused, abnormal condition, alteration, wear and tear or acts of God. Please ask for more details.

Unless specified on your order confirmation, the company is not responsible for uplifting or disposal of your existing flooring and rooms should be emptied by the customer before fitting. This also applies to any furniture in room/s; the customer is responsible for the room being empty and re-sitting of furniture at the start/end of installation. If you require this service please ask for more details.

No responsibility will be accepted for any marks, scuffs, scratches, or damage to painted walls, wallpaper, skirting boards, architraves, or other decorative finishes that may occur during the normal course of moving furniture, uplifting existing floor coverings, or installing new flooring. While every reasonable care will be taken, minor contact with surrounding surfaces can occur as part of the installation process.

Door trimming or adjustments to doors after fitting is not included.

Whilst the Company will make every reasonable effort to clear and tidy away after completion, hoovering/cleaning of the area is not included as a service.

You may be left with waste/offcuts which naturally occur with carpet fitting. It is your responsibility to dispose of these and/or use as you wish. We do offer a carpet binding service which is an effective was to create rugs or runners with your waste, please ask in store for costs.

We assume area for work is free of asbestos materials, however, where the presence of asbestos is suspected or where some doubt exists then any materials found will be presumed as containing asbestos, will be the responsibility of the customer to ascertain if asbestos is present and have it removed and made safe for our staff, before work can continue.

For wet room flooring fittings it is the customer/builders responsibly to ensure water runaway sub floor is at correct level before screeding. All white goods to be removed by customer/builder before fitting.

Inspection and Reporting

The customer/agent must inspect the completed installation and report any concerns or defects within 2 days of the installation being completed.

Where a tenant/customer takes occupation of the property before the customer/agent has carried out their inspection and reported any issues, any subsequent inspection or remedial visit may be subject to an attendance charge. This is because, once the property has been occupied, it is not possible to determine whether any marks, damage, or defects were present at the time of installation or have occurred following tenant occupation.

LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile)

LVT flooring can only be laid at room temperate between 18-25°C. Safety flooring can only be laid at ambience room temperature at 14°C or above. Heating to the work areas is the customers responsibility.

LVT flooring- Underfloor heating must be switched off 48 hours before, during, and 48 hours after the installation, then temperature gradually increased (typically 3°C/hr) to desired warmth. It is the customer responsibility to consult the manufacturers of the underfloor heating to make sure system is compatible with the LVT.

New builds

If your sub-floor has been completed by others, we may need to test the sub-floor to ensure relative humidity reading of 75% or below before we can lay flooring. Where we are under pressure by the customer and/or principal contractor to lay floors without any humidity testing or with a high reading and no remedial work, the customer must accept liability for any future problems.

Carpet, Flattening, Shading & Pile Reversal

Shading occurs because the pile of the carpet has become crushed, flattened or brushed in a different direction to the natural line of the pile when in its final fitted area during normal wear & traffic. This cannot be prevented, and is not connected to the quality of the flooring, and therefore not considered a manufacturing fault. Complaints caused by this phenomenon will not be accepted.

Please refer to our care guides and the care guides provided by the manufacturer for the best ways to keep your flooring looking like new.

Colour Matching

Carpets & Flooring are produced in batches. Please be aware there may be a colour tolerance from previous order/future orders. Also flooring which is laid with the pile travelling in difference directions, even though from the same batch will not appear to match. Please check Pile direction if a join is required.

DIY Fitting, Joins & Pattern Repeats

We cannot take responsibility for sizes errors / joining patterns when fitting yourself. Once flooring has been cut into it cannot be returned if an error is made.

​

Sofas, Furniture & Bed (not limited to) Terms & Conditions Product Specifications

The majority of our products are sold fully assembled, however on occasions certain pieces will need assembly. Assembly is not included unless you have organised this directly with us (fees will apply).

We offer a disposal service for your old products. Disposal must be pre-paid before you delivery is made, charge apply by type of product.

We endeavour to display the colours of our products as accurately as possible, however we cannot guarantee complete accuracy. In addition, we cannot guarantee exact colour matching of products ordered at different times.

The specifications of each product are given in as much detail as possible. You are responsible for determining that any order of goods will meet with your requirements and that the fabrics/materials used in production are fit for your purposes.

Please remember to measure all staircases, hallways and door frames, in addition to the place where you would like to place the furniture, so that you are able to move the item into your home safely and comfortably and fits in the desired area/s.

​Upholstery

Please consult the manufacturers care guide leaflet or online. It is recommended to regular 'dress' and 'plump' your sofa / chair. Please be aware sofas/chairs can take up to 60 days to initially 'settle in'. It may feel slightly different to the shopfloor model which has been 'aired' and used for display.

Fabric

Covers can be damaged by hard clothing fabrics like denim and light colours may be susceptible to dye transfer from clothing and appear worn quicker. Removable, washable covers are practical but the look of the sofa will never be as smart as a fixed tailored suite. Long pile fabrics such as Chenille, Velvet and Draylon are hard wearing but can develop shading and crushed areas as part of their natural characteristics. Silks and delicate fabrics can crease.

Leather

Leather is a natural product with natural characteristics and no two pieces are exactly the same. Your furniture may display brands, scars or creases which are a sign of true authenticity and have no bearing on the quality or durability of the item. Every hide is different and will wear differently over time. Some will develop a patina especially in areas that are most in contact with human skin.

Cabinet Furniture

Real wood products are characterised by imperfections and shade variations. Each piece is unique and continues to evolve and mature with age, affected by its surroundings and external factors such as temperature and humidity. Painted, Marble, travertine, stone and granite may all present variations and unique colourings developed during its evolution. Please refer to the care guides provided by the manufacturer for the best ways to keep your furniture looking like new. All sizes are approximate.

​Mattresses

Please consult the manufacturers care guide leaflet or online. It is recommended to rotate and/or (where applicable) turn your mattress every week for the first three months, then every three or four months after that. Please be aware mattresses can take up to 60 days to initially 'settle in'. It may feel slightly different to the shopfloor model which has been 'aired' and used for display.

If you decide to cancel your order once cut by us or a special order/bespoke order product for any reason before or after receiving your order, it is unlikely that we could sell it to another customer at full selling price. We'll therefore reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of 25% of the order value.

Flooring that has been cut in to by yourself or your own fitter will be then exempt from return (please roll out and check before making an cuts).

Once opened mattresses, toppers, divan sets, pillows, sofa beds and bedding are exempt from return for hygiene reasons. Therefore they cannot be returned for any reason other than because they are not as described or deemed faulty by the manufactuer.

The product must be in its delivered form and must not have been tampered with in any way. You are advised to where ever possible use the original packaging to protect the product on its return journey, unless assembled by our own delivery team.

The product will be inspected on return to ensure that the product has not been tampered with and is complete. Please be advised that you do have a duty of care for the products during the period of cancellation of your order and the collection of the goods. Should it be determined that the item has been handled more than they would have been in a shop an amount may be deducted from the refund.
