FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW SHOULD I SIGN FOR THE GOODS?

All goods should be inspected as soon as they are delivered and any damage reported to the carrier by writing on the docket. If the carrier will not wait, please sign as damaged. Any claims for damage must be put in writing to us within 24 hrs of delivery.  If any damage is noted, photographs must be taken before the item is sited. 

HOW ABOUT INSTALLATION?

Our prices do not include installation. We are often able to recommend a local distributor or engineer who can carry out any installation required.

A qualified engineer or distributor can check that you have sufficient gas or electrical power, also to make sure you can get the appliance through the doors and round any awkward corners (some equipment can be made narrower to go through narrow doorways).

Pipe size, distance from meter and amount of equipment being fed from the meter are all important aspects to consider. For larger schemes we would recommend a full site survey to ensure the equipment is suitable and to identify any potential problems.

If you have any queries you are welcome to call our technical department to confirm details on our equipment.
