This includes products such as aluminium gates, fencing panels, posts and fixings.

Our standard shipping method is DPD tracked delivery which has a minimum delivery charge. We are unable to send using alternative shipping methods than those on our website. Our tracked delivery service is used to ensure products arrive safely with our client, and we do not send using standard Royal Mail.

Where products are under warranty but outside of our returns timescale we may be required to send the product to the manufacturer for testing before a refund is processed. This may result in a longer wait for refunds to be processed but you will be made aware of the progress of the return.
For credit customers if you require a replacement product we will raise a new invoice at your purchasing price and refund your account accordingly once testing has been completed and we are satisfied that it is a product fault and not an installation issue.
