  How long are your products guaranteed for?

  What shall i do if my product creates a fault in the first 12 months?

It is very rare for a product to create a fault, usually it would be due to incorrect fitment or misuse.

In these circumstances your product is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. You would need to purchase a new item to be fitted in the place of the faulty item.

You then need to return the faulty item to ourselves. We would get the relevant manufacturer to check the unit and confirm the problem. If the item is confirmed to have a fault, we would then issue you a refund for the new item purchased.

All works are priced on an individual basis, dependant on the following factors:

Time on Site, Parts Required, Urgency, Location etc.

A quotation can be issued before the works commence. Please note that quotations are free and will take place when an engineer is available to attend site.
Current booked works will take precedance over quotations. Should you wish to speed up the quotation process, you can take photos of the door/s in question and email them for inspection by an engineer.
