QUALITY/GUARANTEE
The quality and finish of the Goods will be reasonably compliant with generally recognised standards in the trade as decided by an independent expert. Where a new door is manufactured and finished by us, we will place a 3-month Guarantee on the door. As a natural product, even the best timber doors may experience some movement in all planes; movement within the published British standards will not constitute a defect. The guarantee does not cover the paint finish, some variation should be expected and small cracks on joints and in the face, whilst rare, are not unexpected or of structural concern. Alterations and lack of maintenance will void any guarantee and will not be accepted via returns including locks placed where mortice and tenon joints are located. We are not able to guarantee the surface finish of our doors, whether they are painted, stained or another finish. Generally, the more exposed the door to rain, sun and weather conditions, the more frequently the door will require repainting. Darker doors in sunny positions are likely to require re-painting more frequently whereas doors fitted deep inside porches/facing North will require less attention. *There is no guarantee against cracks in leadlight stained glass. Our guarantee is limited to the repair or replacement (at our discretion) of the goods ordered or refund the price paid. We will not accept liability for the reinstallation of supply only goods that are found to be faulty. Our guarantee will not apply if there is any unpaid balance outstanding.
