PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY ACCEPTING A QUOTE OR ESTIMATE FROM HARLAND DECORATING SERVICES, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT AND AGREEING TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OUTLINED BELOW.
'I', 'me' and 'my' means Harland Decorating Services. 'You', 'your' and 'customer', means the person who requested my services and enters into this contract.
Your quote is valid for 30 days. The final invoice may change based on paint choices (e.g., late requests for colored woodwork or significantly different emulsion colors) and unforeseen issues or additional work requests.
I run a small business that depends on consistent work from reliable customers, and last-minute cancellations lead to lost income. You may cancel your decorating work within 14 calendar days after accepting your quote, as per statutory 'cooling off' legislation. To cancel, please notify me via email or 'signed for' post using the contact details in your quote. Cancellations after 14 days incur a fee of 25% of the total quote. If cancelled at very short notice (within 7 days of the start date) a fee of 50% will apply.
You can postpone decorating work for up to 3 months without extra costs. A second postponement request will be treated as a cancellation and incur a 50% fee.
Projects over £1500 may need a deposit, and those over £3000 may require a mid-project part-payment. Full payment of the final invoice is due within 5 days via bank transfer.
To ensure a smooth decorating process, please clear valuable and personal items from the areas to be decorated. I am happy to help move furniture if needed. While I take precautions, accidents can happen, so please avoid entering the work area. If possible, provide access to power, water, and toilet facilities; let me know in advance if this isn't feasible, as it may incur additional costs. I may request to leave tools and materials at your home; if so please refrain from using them.
I will provide all necessary trade-quality materials but cannot guarantee the quality of paints supplied by customers.
I cannot remove waste from the decorating work due to not having a waste removal license. Waste will be placed in rubbish bags for you to dispose of.
I may use anonymous photographs of your decorating work for marketing purposes on this website. If you have concerns, please inform me.
£1 million public liability insured. The certificate of insurance is available to download below. I do not have insurance for removing or dropping radiators. I can assist with this task if needed, but will not be held responsible for any damage.
