These terms and conditions apply to all work carried out by Hammond Brickwork Limited (Company No. 08059926). By instructing us to carry out work, you agree to the following terms.
1. Quotations
All quotations are provided free of charge and without obligation. Quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Prices are based on the information available at the time of quoting. If additional work is required that was not included in the original quotation, we will inform you and agree any additional costs before proceeding.
2. Payment Terms
Payment terms will be agreed in writing before work commences. For larger projects, stage payments may be required at agreed milestones. Final payment is due upon completion of the work unless otherwise agreed. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue payments in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
3. Scope of Work
The scope of work will be clearly set out in our quotation or written agreement. Any changes to the agreed scope must be confirmed in writing by both parties. We will carry out all work in a professional and workmanlike manner, using appropriate materials and in accordance with relevant building regulations and standards.
4. Materials
Where we supply materials, these remain our property until full payment has been received. We will use materials that are fit for purpose and comply with relevant British Standards. Where specific materials are requested by the client, we will source them where possible but cannot guarantee availability or pricing.
5. Access and Site Conditions
The client is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the work site. Any hazards, underground services, or relevant planning restrictions must be disclosed to us before work begins. We will leave the work area clean and tidy at the end of each working day.
6. Planning Permission and Building Regulations
It is the client's responsibility to obtain any necessary planning permission or building regulation approval before work commences. We are happy to advise where we can, but we are not responsible for obtaining these approvals unless specifically agreed in writing.
7. Insurance
We hold comprehensive public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance. Details are available upon request. We are not responsible for existing defects in the property that are not related to our work.
8. Guarantees
We stand behind our workmanship. If any defect in our work becomes apparent within 12 months of completion, we will return to rectify it at no additional cost, provided it results from our workmanship rather than factors beyond our control such as ground movement, extreme weather, or interference by third parties.
9. Cancellation
Either party may cancel the agreement by providing reasonable written notice. If the client cancels after work has commenced, payment will be due for all work completed and materials ordered up to the date of cancellation.
10. Disputes
We aim to resolve any disagreements quickly and fairly. In the first instance, please contact us directly to discuss your concerns. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be subject to the laws of England and Wales and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
11. Force Majeure
We shall not be held liable for delays or failure to perform due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to adverse weather conditions, supply chain disruptions, or government restrictions.
12. Limitation of Liability
Our total liability in connection with any project shall not exceed the total contract value for that project. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
