1.2 are either the owner of the property detailed in the quotation, or that the owner of the property has granted you permission to purchase and install a new boiler.
1.3 understand that we are unable to guarantee the integrity of your existing system (especially pipework sited within concrete floors). Our quotation is to replace the boiler, system controls and make good only.
1.4 understand that every effort will be made to restore facilities at the earliest opportunity. The heating and hot water system could remain out of action for much of the time the work is in progress. Cold water supply interruption is anticipated to be minimal.

2.1.2 The pipe work will be concealed wherever possible and all visible pipes will be fitted neatly and as inconspicuously as practicable. Proper provision will be made for the effects of expansion and contraction. All new pipe work containing water in unheated spaces i.e. garages or lofts will be lagged as necessary.
2.1.3 Where any supply pipework is to run beneath floors, we will require access to the respective rooms to raise carpets and flooring as appropriate as discussed during the survey. We would appreciate you undertaking the moving of any furniture or items to facilitate access to these areas wherever possible prior to work commencing.

Every effort will be made to make these as inconspicuous as possible however we will ensure current Gas Safety and Building Regulations are met accordingly.

4 OUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS
We may have to cancel a contract due to events outside of our control or the unavailability of stock. If this happens, we will promptly contact you to let you know
5 YOUR CANCELLATION RIGHTS
5.1 You have the right to cancel this contract under the terms of the Consumer Contracts Regulations (2013), from where your rights as a customer, as laid out, are derived.
Subject to the remaining paragraphs of this section (SECTION 5) you can cancel the contract between you and us up to 14 days after goods are delivered to you without giving any reason. This is called your ‘cooling off period’.
5.2 You are not entitled to cancel or obtain a refund (i) in respect of goods that have been made to your specification or are clearly personalised or (ii) where urgent repair or maintenance is carried out.
5.3 If you cancel your agreement within the cooling off period then, subject to clause 5.4, we will refund to you all payments that we have received from you, other than non- standard delivery charges, within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice
5.4 If you have expressly opted to start the work within the cooling off period and then choose to cancel after the installation has started and before the cooling off period ends:
5.4.1 you will be under an obligation to pay for the reasonable costs incurred by us in performing those services and we may deduct this from any refund that you are owed or, if your refund has already been processed, charge you for such costs; and
5.4.2 we will also be entitled to deduct from your refund or charge you (if your refund has already been processed) the amount by which the value of any installed goods has been diminished as a result of customer handling beyond what is necessary to establish the goods’ nature, characteristics and functioning, up to 100% of the contract price. Please note that a boiler’s value is likely to be significantly diminished if it has been used.
5.5 If you have expressly opted to start the work within the cooling off period you will lose your right to cancel within the cooling off period if the service is performed in its entirety.
5.6 If you cancel this agreement within the cooling off period, we will collect the goods from you within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice (on a date agreed between us) and you agree to pay our reasonable and direct costs and expenses incurred in their collection (including the cost of uninstalling goods if you have asked us to do this).
