Written details of the revised cost will be given at the time and a revised quotation will be issued as soon as possible.
c) Subject to (a) and (b) then we will carry out the work in accordance with the quote.

3. Things you should know.
Where the Contractor agrees to carry out works on installations of inferior quality or over ten years old at that date, no warranty is given in respect of such works. The Contractor accepts no liability in respect of the effectiveness of such works or otherwise, unless the Contractor causes a defect in the system due to its negligence.
The contractor does not guarantee the work that any other contractor has done. Contractor is not responsible for any pre-existing faults.
The contractor is not obliged to replace the pipes if the customer has not requested it (provided that if they are not visually damaged).
The contractor is not responsible for the quality of the mixer, the shower if the customer has poor pressure (may need a pump for an additional charge), unless the Contractor causes a defect in the system due to its negligence.
The guarantee shall be for labour only in respect of faulty workmanship for 12 months from the date of completion with the manufacturer’s warranty in force.
The guarantee will become null and void if the work carried out is:
(a) Subject to misuse or negligence
(b) Repaired, modified or tampered with by anyone other than one of our employees or subcontractor.
The Contractor will accept no liability for, or guarantee, suitability, materials supplied by the Client and will accept no liability for any consequential damage or fault.
The Contractor shall not guarantee any work in respect of powerflushes, blockages in waste and drainage systems, replacement tap washers or any other small fix which could be considered to be of a temporary nature.
The Contractor will not guarantee any work undertaken on instruction from the Client and against the written or verbal advice of the engineer. Work is guaranteed only in respect of work directly undertaken by the Contractor where payment in full has been made. This does not affect the Client’s right to redress under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Any non-related faults arising from recommended work which has not been undertaken by the Contractor will not be guaranteed.
Where the Contractor agrees to carry out works on installations of an inferior quality or over 10 years old at that date, no warranty is given in respect of such works and the Contractor accepts no liability in respect of the effectiveness of such works or otherwise, unless the work has not been carried out with reasonable skill and care.
When the Contractor carries out work to change a system from low pressure to high pressure, the Client accepts that there is a remote chance that the Client’s original pipe work may suffer leaks as a result of the change in pressure. Also, there may be an effect on the ball valve of the w.c, the cartridges of some showers and taps which the Client may need to be upgraded to cope with the pressure changes. The Contractor will repair any such leaks and/or install new ball valves or cartridges at an extra charge to be agreed if and when necessary.
When a powerflush is carried out, the Client accepts and agrees that there is a remote chance that the Client’s original pipework and/or fittings may suffer leaks as a result of the cleansing process. The Contractor will repair any such leaks at an extra charge to the Client if and when they occur.
Guarantee Exclusions:
– Systems or structures which were initially installed or fitted by a third party.
– Any recall arising from any unforeseeable circumstances or factors known to the Client but not notified or disclosed to the Contractor prior to works being undertaken.
4. Your deposit and payment.
If you fail to pay the balance in full within seven days of the date, it becomes due then we may charge interest at a rate of 3% above bank based rate per annum on any outstanding amounts from the date on which payment was due.
5. Your right to cancel.
After acceptance of the quotation, you may only cancel your order with our agreement. If we do agree to such cancellation, your deposit will be returned to you, but only after we have deducted a fair and reasonable amount for our expenses incurred up to the date of cancellation. Where we order any product that cannot be returned we may, deduct the cost of the product specific to your installation from your deposit, and may ask you to pay any additional amount if their value is more than the value of the deposit. Where you pay for such items, we will deliver (but not install) them to you free of charge to the address on the quotation, or another local address by agreement if you wish us to do so. This clause does not affect any statutory rights you may have to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations.
6. Our right to cancel
We reserve the right to cancel this contract in the following two cases:
1. Where it is apparent that the work cannot be carried out for technical or safety reasons; and
2. We find it necessary to make unforeseeable design changes for safety and technical reasons which you do not want to agree to due to cost or other reasons.
We will discuss the situation with you to see if we can agree a way to carry out the work subject to changes in design and price which are acceptable to both of us. If we cannot reach an agreement within a reasonable timescale and in any event within ten days from the date our discussions start we will cancel this contract by giving you notice in writing.
In the case of cancellation in the above instances, we will return your deposit to you, but we will first deduct any fair and reasonable expenses we have incurred up date of cancellation.
