The Client must allow the Installers reasonable access to facilities as are required to carry out the installation. The Installation Works will be itemised in the Installation Cost Sheet. Any additional work required by the Client will be subject to extra charges which must be paid on Completion of Installation. If the Client is not satisfied with the Installation Works the Client should provide the Company with written notice of such dissatisfaction along with the specific reasons within seven days of Completion of Installation. If the reasons for the dissatisfaction are found to be reasonable by the Company, any such defects in the Installation Works will be remedied as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. If the reasons provided by the Client are found not to be reasonable by the Company then the Client will be informed of the decision in writing. Installation time is only ever approximate and no claims can be made against the Company for delays in completing the Installation Works.

INSTALLATION NOTE: If our installers are being used than an agreed working time and date will be agreed with the Customer. Where the walls or surfaces are not completely level the installers will use decorator’s filler/caulk products to fill in any voids. Although our installers will take care in not damaging decorations the Company will not be liable for accidental damage to walls and ceiling.
