Damaged & faulty item procedure

If any item supplied develops a fault within its warranty period from date of receipt you must inform us before returning the item and we will inform you of the returns procedure.

  • If an item is damaged or faulty we may ask for photographic evidence and serial numbers to be emailed to us to help ensure that a replacement or refund is issued efficiently.
  • We are not responsible for any labour charges incurred during fitment or removal of allegedly faulty (or incorrectly supplied) parts.
  • We cannot be held responsible for items that are damaged due to the result of normal wear and tear.
  • We may refer you directly to the manufacturer supplier of your goods depending on the terms and conditions of the specific manufacturer.
  • We will organise the collection of your goods with a relevant suitable courier.
  • All goods are tested with replacement items sent out after original items have been deemed unsuitable.
  • If a refund is required rather than a replacement item this shall be processed after goods have been returned and confirmed faulty.
  • In the event we find no fault, we reserve the right to recover our delivery costs, fees and expenses from you.

Special exemptions

Made To Order

Some of the products on our website are designated 'Made To Order' products meaning they do not exist on a shelf ready for shipping and are instead constructed at time of order when required. As a result these products cannot be cancelled once ordered and are non-returnable unless a fault occurs as detailed in the faulty item procedure above.
