If you are having your building fitted by an independent company it is advisable to wait until delivery has been carried out before arranging this work.
When ordering a building consideration must be given to the access required. Any “delivery only” orders will be to kerbside only, unless agreed otherwise. If you have chosen our fitting service, a minimum of 8 ft head clearance may be required for certain buildings to gain access to the base. If access is restricted please let us know at the time of order.
It is the customer’s responsibility to provide reasonable unobstructed access for the delivery/or fitting to take place.
Where this is not the case and access makes it impossible for us to deliver/or fit the building, it will be left at the nearest point to the property for the customer to handle, if the customer requests a return visit this will be subject to an additional charge of which the minimum cost will be £50, but this may increase depending on the distance traveled.

Installation
The customer must provide a solid level base, i.e concrete, flag stones, decking etc
Reasonable unobstructed access is required, some buildings may require head room of at least 8 ft. We require notice if the carry from kerbside is greater than 25 meters. Due to health and safety legislation we are not able to carry sections over roofs hedges, fences etc. Clear access all round the base is required.
All our buildings require additional room for the roof overhang, allow a 10 inch clearance all around the building. Please allow for this when placing bases near to boundary walls.
If on arrival the base prepared by the customer is not to a sufficient standard, the installation may be suspended at the discretion of the fitting team or a disclaimer will be required,signed by the customer, This disclaimer will void any warranty due to the inadequacy of the base supplied by the customer.
Upon suspended installations the product can be left for self assembly by the customer, or a new installation date arranged. A return visit will be subject to an additional re-visit charge of £50 plus travelling costs depending upon the installation area.
If you have any concerns over base requirements please contact us as soon as possible.
